What gorgonian do I have

[djulian645]

Can anytime help me identify my gorgonian! Just purchased this and want to know more about what specific type it is

It is actually not a gorgonian, it is a bryozoan, Briareum asbestinum. It is an encrusting species that also branches, and is extremely aggressive. It grows very quickly and will smother and overgrow anything near it, so keep it away from your rockwork.
