A little late up but here they are. I only have a crappy point-and-shoot, so no macros... No pics of the small M. flavida or P. guadalupensis though yet.
Muriceopsis flavida and puffer

Muricea sp.

And my 2 Pterogorgia Sp.. I am unsure if the exact species
Smaller

Larger

Very nice gorgonians Aqua!!

Not to hijack this thread, but I'm getting a 37 gallon tank that is 25" tall, what type of light would be the best to house these under. I love them and really want a couple!

I would probably go with a 150w MH. Here's another question for you guys. Does anyone know if the gorgs SWF offers (i.e. the deep sea yellow and red one) are photosynthetic? They say yes, but it also says phyto on their diet. Are they 50/50?
