Dear Stephane,

I have tried all my resources to identify your gorgonian, but none of the experts are able to even make a guess. Dr. Gary Williams of the California Academy of Sciences even suggested that this critter might even be a black coral and not a gorgonian, at all. My guess is Bill is correct on the identification of the tritoniid.

Sorry we couldn't be of more help.

Best wishes,
Dave Behrens
