Gorgonian

[bojik]

I aquired a sickly looking coral for free saturday. I think its a form of gorgonian. What isn't dead skeleton is opening all its polyps up well. Seems that what is still alive is liking the lights i have better. It's structure is much like a red finger type/ But its all light tan with a slightly different hue of short tanish polyps. Any ideas of type? Its not a very brittle species from what i can tell. And advice on care? Its in a current stream that it seems to enjoy. Anyone have other advice other than phytoplanton/filter food and standard trace elements?

I can just say WTH!!. Do you have a pic? Is it more of rusty colored with GIANT white polyps or tan polyps? Goggle this and see if it is what it is, Diodogorgia Nodulifera. To me it sounds like it, but I cant be sure.

Looking it up. The polyps are short and don't fan out. Its a light sandy tan color for hte body for lack of a better discription. HTe polyps are a differnt slightly darker hue of tan.

The yellow looks like it BUT its a lighter color.
