What kind of sea fan is this

Does anyone know

I want to say purple candelabra. Or sea rod. But I think it's the former. But it's not an SPS, it would be a gorgonian.

I dont know i look up pictures of candelabra and mine does look like that

Gorgonia ventalina or G. flabellum.

Have the polyps come out at all?

Yes they have why

just bought one from reefs2go arriving tomorrow

 

[Tom@HaslettMI]

Yes they have why

Just hoping they had. In the picture they are not out. Polyp extension has been a sign of good health in my experience. Occasional periods of a day or two not opening are fine, but weeks of being closed is not good.

These are not too common. I just looked on Reefs2go and did not see them. Where did you get it?

Gorgs are going to need a lot of food particles in the water, especially if it's a non-photo one.
