Gorgonian Question

[MontanaRocknReefer]

I have this gorgonian that I rescued from the LFS in real bad shape and polyps were very small. I have had this coral for quite some time and the polyps have grown quite large and wonder if anyone can ID this species! Also will it continue to branch as I have not noticed any yet? Thanks for any info! Johnny

Can't help with a proper name, but the growth rate of mine is definitely very slow. It's hard to actually see the difference over the last several years until I compare with old photos.

Johnny here goes.

If it's Caribbean/TWA then it's probably a Eunicea. I would guess Eunicea succinea.

Jerel thanks for the ID! I believe you are right on the money!

Johnny,
isn't this very close??
I traded for this a couple of months ago and it has started branching already..this is purple (lavender) with tan polyps
I saw one yesterday but now I can't remember the name...I'll go looking again and see if I can find it...

Bob, you're looks like a Pseudoplexaura, only because the Plexaura don't extend their polyps that much.
