Danny,
Unfortunately the picture wouldn't copy but here is a little info on that fan.

Bali Blue Sea Fan
(Acalycigorgia sp.)

Stats
Care Level: Moderate
Lighting Requirements: Low to Moderate
Water Flow: Moderate to High
Aggressiveness: Peaceful
Range: Bali
Family: Acanthogorgiidae
Water Conditions: 74-80° F; sg 1.023-1.025; pH 8.1-8.4; dKH 8-12

Notes: The Bali Blue Sea Fan grows in beautiful tree-like formations like underwater bonsai. Its branches are rusty colored and covered with beautiful blue polyps.

Underwater epoxy is useful in attaching the sea fan securely in your reef aquarium. Place it in an upright position in the bottom two-thirds of the aquarium. Although it does not require bright lighting it can be kept under bright lights providing algae does not begin to grow on it. Placing it so moderate to high currents will be able to supply it with necessary nutrients and trace elements will also help deter algae from growing on it.

Since this sea fan is not photosynthetic, it relies on additions of trace elements, marine snow, phytoplankton, and food for filter feeders to maintain proper health.
