Default Identifying and keeping gorgonias in good health

Could you recommend some good website dedicated to these corals?

/me is eagerly tagging along on this one =)

Hey Pez, I saw some really beautiful Gargonians at Barrier Reef Aquatics on
Archer and Lockwood. You should check it out.

Thanks, but I do not want to buy any at this moment...
I just need to find some information about these animals.

BTW - this store is terribly expensive... don't you think?
49 bucks for a cleaner shrimp or 79 for a small orange linkia?
These guys probably never heard of online stores... ;-)

Oh yeah, they are outrageous! The prices are so high, I get a buzz just
from walking in their store. He charges $29.00 for a bag of Instant Ocean
salt (50g mix) and calls it a SPECIAL price. Yeah, special for HIM maybe.

I still like to go in there on occasion and look at what they have. Plus,
they are very close to my house. I was stunned by the beauty of this
gargonian though. He wants $80 for it and if I was confident I could take
good care of it, I'd buy it.

Have you checked out Chicago Aquatics on 143rd & LaGrange Rd?

What kind of gorgonia is it? OK, I will check it out :-))
For $16 you can buy Purple Frilly Gorgonia (Pseudopterogorgia sp) here

Not yet... I did not want to go to this store only but I rarely go so much south.
Maybe I will make a "special" trip, soon...
