What is the coral that is up in the top left of your screen? Not the clam... the branching one with the blue polyps(?). is it a species of sea fans?

Looks like a Blueberry Gorgonian, non-photosynthetic and very difficult to keep!

Booo. That's a shame.

Yea, beautiful, isn't it! There are a few people keeping them successfully. If you can find some aquacultured and find out exactly what that hobbiest is doing, you may be successful. I've thought about it, but haven't the guts to try. :unsure:
