    unknown coral.JPG Please help. I found this hitch hiker on some new live rock and was wondering what it is? My lfs told me it was non photosynthic and didn't know the name at the time. Just thought I would get your guys opinions.

    nano posted on my pic section and thought it was a Gorgonian sp. too. I think I will have to look up feeding requirements and such. I know it needs some movement so I put it in my fuge for now and will move to tank when I get my rock placement. Thanks for the info mission
