Please, help to ID:
Thin red gorgonian with white polyps. Branches are ~1mm thick. Polyps are on the sides of the branches, left and right, not the whole branch, covered by polyps. Polyps remind chili coral polyps: red collar under the tentacles.
General size - may be trice thinner, than Swiftia, and red finger Diodogorgia is for comparison. Pardon quality, tomorrow try to do better.

At least is it non-photosynthetic, as I hope, or will require bright light.
Thanks.
