![]() I was just up north at Nootka Sound at our fishing lodge. When I was there I snagged a weird looking coral. It looks somewhat like a Red Finger Gorgonian. It is thriving right now but my Yellow Tang likes to take bites out of it. I dont have a camera right now but I will tey to get some pictures. It is about 12 inches tall and has 5 branches and 8 smaller ones.

![]() Matt, you may have noticed a slight temperature difference between the water it came from and your tank. I will not survive and should probably (morally and legally) be left in the ocean.

It is illegal to put something that was captive back in the Ocean, who knows what it could have picked up in your tank that is not natural for this ecosystem. you could effectively cause a plague by releasing it back to the Ocean. the only thing you can do is kill it or let it die. Steve

![]() Sorry about the second post but I just had a great idea. Since I have an old 20 gallon kicking around I will start the corals own private aqurium. Its better than letting it sit and die.

![]() It's probably a filter feeder too, so if you have access to the ocean maybe daily, small water changes with unfiltered sea water would help supply food
