Does anybody have any recommendations on who to buy a gorgonian from? None of the lfs have anything that looks good, so I am going to try and buy one on-line.

Hey Pete, did you pay for the shipping on your own or was this part of a group order?

You can get small gorgonians, tank raised, from GARF.org and from thesea.org. The one I got from reeftopia was too huge for anything but a 500 gallon tank and shipped in a vaccum bag, almost no water. With their sg of 1.035, I salinity shocked it since there was no water for acclimation. In retrospect I should have cut it up into a million pieces so I could acclimate it with the few mils of water they sent it in. It was an awesome purple and the size of a medium outdoor shrub! I like the tank raise better, for the most part.
