Heinz - stunning underwater photos!

Question - what type of sea fan is on the left side of the photo below? There is a yellow and white one.

Hello Drew,

I'm googling Gorgonia ventalina and not finding any place that sells them... I bet these look amazing with a wave maker.

All pics were take close to Makadi Bay / Egypt , In the center of the bay there is a flat dropping sand beach. In short distance before the beach some smaller of house reef are to be observed, a somewhat longer seam reef protract themselves by the northern flank of the bay and offer dipping possibilities. The Bay is to approx. 30 km south of Hurghada.

Heinz,

You do realize this is torchure in the best way. Those are simpley amazing

ScubaDrew · 10-03-2007, 12:16 PM

Heinz - I figured out why they are not online here - they are illegal to collect in Florida.

I wrote to Richard at Tampabaysaltwater.com and he told me that he sees them all the time but wont collect them as they are protected now.

He did indicate that there is another similar species in the gulf that he could possibly collect legally...

going to check out your web link now!
