Thanks for advice. The polyps are actually the same colour as the main tissue along the braches, i.e. a very deep purple. From here is my best option to cut off the healthiest of the remaining branches as you would to propogate a health animal, thus removing as much "dead wood" as possible, or...

I have had a purple gorgonian in my 100g tank for about 12 months that within the last two weeks has suddenly began to die. From a perfectly healthy specimen, there are now lots of bare stalks from which all tissue has receded. Any suggestions on the best attack to save what is left, and stop...
