Live Aquaria in the USA sells a 3.5 inch frag for $69.95. What I have in stock are between 10-20 inches long. I'll shoot you a PM with pricing which is a super deal.
Actually they are Black corals, they are similar to gorgonians but do not/can't retrack their polyps. Called Black Corals because of the color of their bases under their polyps and covering tissue. All the other info you are bang-on with. They are totally beautiful and unique. i too am a fan of the Black Corals.
