What coral is this?

I'd like to know what this is please. The LFS said some sort of gorgonian.

Looks like a Kenya Tree..

Googled Kenya tree, looks like you are correct sir! Thanks. Not gonna buy it.

Pink Gorgonian. Doesn't look like a Kenya Tree at all to me, not with that thin of a base.

Alright- I found this pic of a Kenya tree-

The pink gorgonians were so... Pink.

I'm leaning towards the grubes gorgonian.

I don't think the LFS wants me poking their coral... LOL!!!! Curious though- what would I be looking for it to do?

Kenya tree is soft and will move the gorgonian has a skeleton

If it's squishy then it's a kenya tree. If it's a gorgornian it'll be stiffer and more solid that a kenya tree.

I say it's a gorgornian. It doesn't have the truck that a kenya tree does.

I also agree its a flexibible form of gorgonian species. Great piece imo

Thanks for your input. I think they wanted $40 for it. I thought it looked cool. Maybe I will get one at some point in time.

Ya sea fans are generally a bit pricey imo due to the fact that they are more difficult to ship and house them. The only coral I've lost to date on accident is my orange fan : / lol
