Wow if that is photosynthetic i want one lol. It kinda looks like a giant split pore but mine are drab purple… let me see what more i can findJust wondering if anyone familiar with this species, o bought it thinking it could be photosynthetic and it looks like it is, any ideas? The growth pattern is not familiar to me to other known photosynthetic species that I’m used to.
Sorry phone doesnt like me saying slit
You got it.
Kinda blurry but, when retracted, does the skin/flesh look ruff? Like where every polyp was there is a bump?

That would be a corky, but if have to look at others.
Still looks like a candelabra

Normally I tend to believe that all colourful gorgonians are non photosynthetic, I’m just thinking this one may be as it only opens at lights on.
I agree - to the best of my knowledge. Its the brightness that is throwing me off tho. That is gorgeous.
