wishlist: misc gorgonians/sea whips/sea fans


another species i'd like to add to our tank are the gorgonians.  while snorkeling off the coast of isla roatan, honduras we saw an abundance of fairly large fuchsia lace sea fans + large polyp purple sea whips + yellow-orange gorgonian bunches in the tiny little stretch of reef we visited.  i think the vibrant, contrasting skin/rind + polyps would make an excellent addition AND would, again, help increase the diversity in the tank's ecosystem.  they are infrequently stocked @ our LFS's so i'll have to keep my eyes peeled...
