Nice little setup Jack! Is that a Rumphella gorg on the left there? It's enormous!

Uh, I don't know. I'll look it up tomorrow I'm going to bed.

I'm not positive on the ID but it's photosynthetic and hardy.

If you post a closeup I can maybe tell you.

I'm guessing it is Rumphella though. Sort of yellowish, really tiny polyps? (And photosynthetic

)

That is a sweet piece. I'm guessing it's indeed Rumphella sp. (for whatever my guess is worth). Love the growth pattern.

I have the same species and its a very hardy gorgonian whatever it is. Grows much faster than my others as well. I have seen Jack's yellow gorgonian in person and its VERY nice and very large. I have found its also one of the yellow species of photosynthetic gorg that keeps its color well. Many of my other yellow ones went brown.

Nice picture Jack.

If I'm ever out your guy's way I'm hitting one of you guys up for a frag of that.
