Dear Chinnadurai,

this is not a gorgonian but Bryozoan! There are cases where gorgonains are found growing over pearl oysters (I have collected from dead oysters in 2 instances from Gulf of Mannar)

All the best with your work!

Shunmugavel Chinnadurai

Dear sir,

You are correct...

That is not gorgonid, It's Bryozoan only Bugula neritina.

Thanks for your help and wishes.....

All the best buddy!
