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.
