Antillogorgia sp. This variety of Gorgonian was cultured in Panama at Bocas Mariculture. It has purple branches with small polyps. Large colonies are impressive with their hypnotic movements and many fuzzy branches. Most are purple, some more rare are yellow. 

Many other species of gorgonians and sea fans are difficult to keep in captivity, however, this species is relatively easy to keep and a great coral for beginners who want something with interesting form and flow. It is photosynthetic, but will benefit from feedings of microfoods designed for soft corals.
