Gorgonian Galore!

Had a brainwave yesterday while feeding my gorgonian (sea fan - my 1-week-old orange with white polyps one). Decided to turn the rock island on the right side of the tank into a Gorgonian Island!

One the left: dusky purple, with polyps of the same colour.
Foreground: Very old inhabitant of my tank, red with yellow polyps.
Middle: Orange with orange polyps - the power of karma! (story to be told later)
Background: orange with white polyps, from last week's shopping.
Right foreground: Red with orange polyps but a different species. Bought this one since it came with a bright orange sponge! I'm such a sucker for invertebrates and sponges ...
Right background: Creamy yellow with same-coloured polyps.

Blue sponge in the far right corner, and green frogspawn coral (Euphyllia sp.) right in the centre.

Most have opened already and are feeding on frozen cyclops and phytoplankton.
