Well here is the only one I recognize as owning fromthe list. I'm sure I have more, but don't recognize them by scientific names. Here's my platygyra, an aussie worm brain.

Coralkeeper, do you know what type of gorgonians they are? The orange one looks like it might be Echinomuricea sp. and the other looks like it might be Pseudopterogorgia sp.
 
Hey Rev we should delete ones that get pics so we don't fill this thread up with multiple pics of the same stuff.....

The orange one is Spiny Orange Sea Rod (Muricea elongata) and the purple with white polyps is a Purple Feather Gorgonia (Pseudopterogorgia bipinnata). Both are photosynthetic gorgonians.
 
Thanks! I'll make sure to include them.
