Pink fan - Aquarium Advice

land locked · 04-16-2008, 10:50 AM

In my new LR that is almost done curing I have a bunch of this growing down in the larger holes in the rock. With my research, I think it looks like a gorganian type of sea fan or a Xenia of some kind. The pictures are not great because it is down in the hole but it is a light pink color.
What is it? If it is good, how do I care for it? I think it is cool whatever it is.

Have I stumped everyone or do I need to try and get another picture?

The lower "hole" looks like it could be a feather duster. As for the upper "hole" I can't tell from the pic. It almost looks like xenia. Can you get a close-up shot of them???

It could also be some form of Macro algae.

I think the pink fan grows mainly off the South Western side of the UK, but I could be wrong....
