Hello all

I was woundering if someone could ID this coral for me. It's not a picture of mine but I think I have a small stem of it growing on my mushroom rock that I bought a few days ago.

I hope the picture comes out ok iv never put one on here. Also thanks and karma for the first to positivly ID

Its gorgonian - they need lots of flow and lots of filter food like rotifers or green water.

A challenging coral to keep.

I agree with Sea Dragon. It is a red gorgonian with white polyps. Carnivorus by disposition low lighting level. Good water flow required but dont place it directly in a current. Use a good Zooplankton food for keeping it healthy. If possible then separate the piece growing under your leather as it will grow faster than the leather & you will have issues with it later. It will sting the leather i mean.
With best regards
Rohit

Hey rohitratnakaran, Sea dragon is his "Fish Rank", like yours is plankton at the moment, the more you post, the cooler it gets as a creature. his name is actually Pheonixheights

I saw those 3 little polyps over there to begin with . Are they zoas? Can't tell from the pic. What is that pinkish looking thing I was talking about?

Thank you Aquaboy. I'll keep that in mind next time i post. A clearer larger picture would help id the organism better.
