The current owner
Through one of the forums I'm member of (www.zeewaterforum.info) I came across this coral. Member Martin g sells them together with some other corals, even though it wasn't this one that caught my attention, but might be a nice option.
It's a fragment of his coral and costs 5 euro.
The picture is of his main colony, but to give an impression.

Bought the coral
Yesterday we bought a fragment of gorgonian from martin g, unfortunately it didn’t open right away, so in the picture you can hardly see it and it’s still closed. But this morning it was opened a little already.

The Gorgonian is doing fine, not much different about it so far.

Added new Urchin, Hermit Crab and Mushrooms
The Gorgonian already had a close encounter with the new Urchin.

The Gorgonian is still doing fine, but starts to get problems with the brown stuff

Movie
A while ago I recorded some movies, I just took the parts out from each animal separate.

Back from vacation
The Encrusting Gorgonian is also one that we have for 4 months. It first started taking over the small rock we got it on but now after we got back from vacation we noticed it also grew onto the rock behind it. It is doing very well and we are glad it does

Cleaning november 2010
Still claiming more space, although it seems to be bothered a bit now by the Halimeda growing above it.

Happy New Year 2011
Removed many of the algae around it, that's why it looks so sad in the picture...it was shortly afterwards.

Sold Fragments
Yesterday I have sold some fragments again. A member from the Zeewater Forum voor Nederland en België, called Bikerdick, wanted to buy the last Red Mushroom fragment and some Kenya Tree fragments.
When he saw the aquarium he also showed interest in other things, like the Encrusting gorgonian.

Quick Vacation Update
And I removed the rock with Encrusted Gorgonian that we bought long time ago, all the coral has moved onto the other rocks now, so this gives more room in the corner.
