This is what I got last time:
Purple Plume Gorgonia

Yellow Sea Whip

Spiny Orange Sea Rod

They're all photosynthetic. They like a lot of flow! Especially the Sea Whip. So that the detritus and stuff don't accumulate on them and cause algae growth. Also, feeding brings out the polyps more (but not mandatory). They like light too. If you can't put them in a high flow area, blast them turkeybaster once a week or so to get the crap off their skin. Took mine 2 days for all of them to fully opened their polyps, once they did, it was beautiful!
The pieces I got from them were big! like 4-5" across and 8" high, fan shaped.

The owner also gives freebies.

Mounting them can be a bit tricky, you have to strip the flesh off and attached the wirey metallic looking skeleton to whever you want to place it, and then let it flesh grow and encrust over it. However, they usually come in a good shape to stick between rocks and stuff, so thats not a big deal.
