Purple Whip Gorgonian aka Purple Ribbon Gorgonian
We source our Purple Whip Gorgonian from the waters off the coast of the Florida Keys. This is one of the strongest gorgonians I sell so it is easier to keep than other varieties of gorgonian. It is also very common in the areas where I dive, which is why we are able to offer extremely competitive pricing on this purple whip gorgonian coral.
The purple whip gorgonian is not an aggressive species of coral, however it is recommended that you give it enough space and do not place it too close to any other types of coral. You can place it in the substrate or anchor it to a piece of live rock with epoxy.

It’s been a few weeks since I added it to my tank. The color is vibrant and it’s responding well to the lighting. I made sure to keep it away from other corals, and it’s doing fine. A solid choice for a beginner.
