Marine biologists i know, occassionaly collect this species, and are yet to put an ID on it. It is collected in India Ocean Waters or Western Australia, if that helps? any ideas
Do check the fabulous reference by Fabricius and Alderslade (Soft Corals and Sea Fans" produced in Australia.
We also have a great gallery of images here to browse and compare... do check the link atop ths page for it my friend. Lots of good readings/researching to do
Will do, been researching this one for a while, on RC aswell, and other forums, i am still to find an ID, i am new to this site though, and will continue searching.
