I have to tell you that one does not look healthy right now to me.

Gorgonians that are photosynthetic like moderate to moderate high lighting. The need decent flow too but not a ton.

If it is not photosynthetic, then it will need supplemental phyto feedings frequently.

Are they blueberry gorgs? Whatever it is, it looks either ticked off or unhealthy.

My corky finger gorg likes a lot of light, but I really think it would be almost impossible to kill it. I mean I found it washed up on a beach about 5 ft from the water's edge!

Yours looks more like my dad's sea whips except his don't have white polyps. They are under MH's and he feeds them phyto often and they still look good. He's had them for a few months now, so he must be doing something right.
Enjoy your new addition!

Its a purple ribbon gorg (or sea whip as seafansar said), its a little unhappy from being out of the water and is shedding its skin. Mine have all there polyps open this morning, nothing to worry about.
