~~ True Rainbow Corkscrew Gorgonian ~~

[Reef Pets]

This is a rare find! A true rainbow Corkscrew Gorgonian. I am not very experienced with taking photos trough glass.... So excuse the poor quality photo, it looks so much better in person.
This beauty is feeding well and looks amazing!

I am pretty sure the name is cirrapathes spiralis or spiral wire coral.

Be sure to feed it or it will look like black piano wire.

You are correct, thats what it is. Just calling it the more commonly known name. It eats very well.
