Purple Bushy Gorgonian (Pseudopterogorgia sp.)

There hasn't been any necrosis on this gorgonian, but pretty much zero growth since I first placed it into the tank.

This gorgonian continues to fare well. However, there hasn't been any real growth.

There is a small growth on one of the branches of this gorgonian. I will be observing it in the coming days and may remove the branch if neccessary.

This gorgonian kept getting knocked down by the Yellow Tang while it was on it's frag plug, so I ended up attaching it directly to the rock-work.

The polyps appear fully extended now.

This was sold to me as a hardy photosynthetic gorgonian. The polyp expansion visible in the photo was after 24 hours in the aquarium. Care requirements are similar to the Purple Frilly Gorgonian.

This specimen doesn't look "bushy" just yet and I suspect that it has not fully acclimated. You can see some of the skin shedding in the above picture; this is a normal behavior for most gorgonians.
