Hi all

ive got this frag from a friend. Can someone
ID it? He told me when polyps are open they should be white and large.

Now the frag is 3 days in my tank but wasnt open yet.

pretty hard to tell from the photo - what color is the frag?

try getting some food in the water column to entice it to open.

The frag is white. White with a bit grey imo..
my other gorgonias are open. I have 3 in this tank..
I feed my tank with KorallenZucht Coral Booster every day at the same time.

Maybe the gorgonia just needs more time to acclimate in my tank.

Judging from the fleshy stalk, looks like a knobby gorgonian.

I took another picture. The gorgonia is a little bit more open now.
