Where to find this type of sea fan.

Wanna know where to find this kind of sea fan. I have gorgonians but they don't grow flat like that.

I would go diving and get some but I have no time to do that lol.

Also preferably pretty grown.

They typically aren't for sale in this trade because they are almost unanimously illegal to collect... even by licensed collectors. Get caught collecting even a tiny one here in Florida and you'll be in for a HUGE fine and confiscation of the coral!

Yup! I have seen one for sale ONCE in 35 years of reefing.

Maybe a alternative that's simalar? Or a place where I could buy a big gorgonian?
Like the ones that have a central stick with the uniform branches.

KP aquatics (among others) usually have great gorgonians. As long as you get photosynthetic ones, they are generally hardy.

I saw some nice fans for sell at the frag swap I was at in Lakeland, Florida last weekend. They were nice, but they are all NPS and I never saw anybody buy one.
