Blueberry Gorgonia?

cbleehk · Jan 20, 2019

Hi, I saw this gorgeous gorgonia with blue trunk/branches, I was wondering if they are the same species as blueberry gorgonia which from googling always shows red branches?

I think it’s just the blue lights

No no, it's blue without lights or with white lights

plus all the pictures from blueberry gorgonia show red branches like this

nope, not like your picture. The picture I got is the exactly coral I'm referring to. Just couldn't ID it for sure.

Can you get a better picture? It's going to be pretty much impossible to positively ID something that blue.

@James M @PDR any ideas?

I had one but my flame angle thought it was TASTY! only thing I seen it eat down to death lol....

cbleehk · Jan 23, 2019

@Neo Jeo does your flame angel nip on anything else like SPS or something with similar sizes polyps? Wanted to get one but research says it’s a gamble

PDR · Jan 23, 2019

I can't seem to find one that looks just like that. FWIW my flame angel did also used to bother some of my gorgs, but has since stopped.

#reefsquad any ideas?

I can't help with the coral question, but I did have a Coral Beauty dwarf angel that ate zoas like candy!

I had a blueberry gorg back in the day, that's not it. They have very bright blue polyps and a red/brown stem. They're also NPS, I found out later, so mine didn't last.
