It was, in fact, staying at Barcelo Maya that really turned me onto Caribbean gorgonians and thus begat a 5 year obsession to locate some. It is a pity that they are so rare, because they thrive in captive conditions, no comparison to their Pacific counterparts (most of whom, at least of those available to the hobby, are non-photosynthetic).

Look at those Gorgonia ventilana stands!!

Awesome, just awesome. :

Tony, I was just looking at the Live Aquaria web site and they have quite a good selection of Caribbean gorgs, both wild and aqua cultured. I wonder why they are so far and few between up here.
