Those are the three. I never knew Simnias (or gorgonians) came in the color
yellow until that day. If I had a marine aquarium big enough, I would of
brought that tire home and put it in there, it was so loaded and beautiful
with the gorgonians all over it. I spent a great deal of time picking a lot
of micro shells off of it (and probably missed a lot in retrospect). I had
not been very interested in micros at that time, and I shipped a lot off to
Marlo for ID help. If I find another one, it's coming home with me.
