They are called cirrapathes spiralis commonly known as spiral wire coral or corkscrew gorgonian. They are not photo-synthetic so they require regular feeding but do well in captivity.
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.

Ya most of the maricultured? ones you see are 2.5 - 3 inches, pretty small. JL had small ones for around that price too. Yours are much nicer. I was lucky enough to get a couple larger pieces locally special order but they haven't been available since. Its one of my favortite pieces.

I've wanted one ever since I saw one in Ching Chai's tank on his build thread on RC a few years ago. You just don't see them around much in Canada, especially like these. Ok enough about me, so how many would you like?

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.

These actually do retract polyps if disturbed.
