Purple Bush
Finger Sea Fan ~ Sea Plume

Description:
   The picture looks like Muriceopsis flavida but may not be. Purple Bush is pinnate with round branches that point up. The branches are round and thicker than the Pseudopterogorgia species that it could be confused with. They are a photosynthetic gorgonian found in the Caribbean.

Lighting - Water flow:
   They require strong currents and a good light source.

Difficulty of Care:
    I haven't found information yet on how well they do in the aquarium.
   See Care of Photosynthetic Gorgonians.

Aggressiveness:
    This species sometimes produces sweeper tenacles to sting its neighbors so be careful that it is not close enough to injure others.
