Chameleon Sea Fan

[i0nz]

Hello, I’m hoping to source a Chameleon Sea Fan within the US. I was curious to see if anybody has came across one and could chime in? I’ve seen them available in the UK but have yet to find one in the US. Hoping to seek more information on this. Photos below for reference.

Maybe look at Alyssas seahorse savy in corals, looks like something they would have for their horses maybe?

Yeah I was just browsing her selection last night actually. She has some quite rare Gorgs and Sea Fans. I may just branch out and ask her (;

I've only seen one person in the US get this species because they were a shop owner and able to contact divers. The closest species however that I've been able to get is the "Pink Warty Gorgonian" (Acanthogorgia isoxya). Unfortunately I lost it in a heatwave last year but I was able to source it through my LFS from Chris at ACI Aquaculture. I'd reach out to an LFS to see if they have any connections with ACI. I'm hoping to get another one this year, I really miss this one

Ah thank you for your response. I never thought to reach out to Chris. I will contact him on Monday
