Anyone seen any like this?

 

[i cant think]

It looks somewhat like a PS gorgonian

I have not a clue. It came up on a hook from 70'. It was bent in two so I cut it an have the two pics.

In the gulf or the atlantic?

Atlantic

I vote gorgonian.

+1 gorgonian

If it's from 70'+ then it's probably an NPS gorgonian. You'll have to feed it regularly.

gorgonian? - kali

Yeah, I’d say it’s definitely an NPS (I’m saying gorgonian but it could be something else) from how deep down it was

I come back with what could possibly be a hit on identification for this coral. If it came from the Atlantic there is a chance it could be Lophelia pertusa, it’s an NPS coral that can be kept in cooler water than the average reef tank (It can be found around the Uk and North America, it has a wide temperature tolerance)
Here’s a photo of one (It isn’t mine, but is a photo of a wild colony)

The lashes on this one seem to be different than what I have. Thanks though.

It’s alright, other photos I’ve seen of it have polyps similar to yours
