From my reading the gorg is a Sea Whip (Pterogorgia sp.) and is difficult to maintain in an aquarium.

We'll see how it goes. I have it in a high current area like is recommended.

That doesn't look like a whip to me. It looks more like the gorg frag I have seen pictures of. Frag and D12 do you guys know?

It's funny that something as well known as GARF is in my own state, not 5 miles from my house, and yet I haven't gone and checked it out at all. I thought about joining, but not sure yet. Cool gorg whatever it is. Love the color.

You should take your camera if you do go!

Yeah, that would probably be a good idea. Only problem is my camera is not so good. I don't think I could get any good shots.

Well, the gorg has some polyps peeking out already. Nothing I can see on the other frag. Anyone got an idea of what that other frag is?

Can you get a better pic of the coralite structure? It is for sure an SPS coral. Possibly a digi.

Sea whip is a common name for certain gorgonians. Garf does have the purple ribbon (Pterogorgia sp.) gorgonian listed here - http://www.garf.org/36/gorgallabout/allaboutgorgs.html
