Photosynthetic Gorgonians - How many are there?

[Anchor]

I have been starting a collection of photosynthetic Gorgonians. I have 5 species so far. I was wondering if anyone had a count on how many species there are in the industry and how available they might be?

These are ones I have pics of... Purple Whip, Groebe's, Purple Ribbon.. dont have anything but common names memorized so far.

I think there are probably around a dozen out in the trade and most are from the Caribbean’s. There was a site called eco gorg or something like that, that was going to aquaculture some for sale. I think there are lots more in the wild but these dozen or so are most suited for ones home aquariums.

I'm trying to find this one, it's NPS but very rare once in awhile it shows up in our aquarium trade
