I have a yellow gorgonian in a tank that was set up in June. The gorgonian was placed in late July, and was slow to opening and honestly, I assumed it was dead for 45 days. It lost some of its flesh, but then started to harden and florish.
In the last 10 days, there is a new growth coming from one of its branches. The growth is similar in color to the stalk under the outer flesh, so I assumed it was how it grew. However now the purple growths are branching and have bubble tips. Leading me to believe it is an algae or similar, that found a convenient spot to attach to.
Any ideas?
