Yes, if I am not mistaken (and I certainly can be!!) his sea rod is like mine, a warty sea rod. This is an Octocoral, a eunicea calyculata. I have mine up at the top of the tank where it gets good flow. Mine has a small brain and some sponges as well as a couple of feather dusters on it. When it feeds, it's tentacles stick out making it really fuzzy looking. The calyces (the round parts where the tentacles come out of) have a green center on mine. My sea rod bleached a bit at first but has since regained it's tan color, although it does have a couple of dead branches on it. I'll try to get a decent picture of it later.
