I've been waiting for a nice photosynthetic gorgonian Sea fan for some time and managed to get one of the last ones.
The purple is even nicer in real life than the photo on the website. I attached it to a small bit of rubble then glued the rubble in place in my tank, it's about halfway up and it's getting strong intermittent flow, it's in the path of a powerhead that comes on for 5 seconds then off for 2.5. Shortly after adding to my tank it's showing great polyp extension.
Here's the pic from the vendors site in the U.K. As I'm rubbish at taking photos, but it's even brighter and more vivid purple than the photo shows.
Don't suppose anyone knows what species it is exactly? It was called purple ribbon seafan but it's nothing like the ribbon seafans/whips I have seen as it's round.
