Thanks Jon.
The Gorgonian was quite difficult to ID, but it's called a Blue Bush Gorgonian, Acalycigoria sp.
It's grown quite a bit, as far as recovering lost tissue comes. It's quite beautiful, usually open 24/7. It's at the bottom of the tank, and I feed it 5ml of DT's phytoplankton 2x weekly.
I'll see if I can get a few more pics, although I can't promise you anything.

Thanks again for all the great comments!!
As for the gorgonian, Ali, as well as a few others, have said it is extremely hard to care for, and might last 8 months if you take real good care of it.
I have seen some very nice growth in less than 24 hrs. There was a few 'dead spots' on the gorgonian, in which no tissue was growing on. Over a week, some of the dead spots have completely disappeared. I only feed it DT's phytoplankton, blended up to smaller particles in the blender, 3x a week, and calcium level is around 480ppm.
(Sorry about not showing the picture itself, but I have no more room left on my Image hosting place [www.imagemagician.com], so I have to use these links)
I'll show you a pic:

I don't see too much growth, as far as the branches comes, although I see some new polyps here are there:
The camera i'm using is a Sony Cyber Shot DscF707, 5.0 MP
