We have a new link, compliments of a bit of research by Nick, related to the Gorgonian Horned Shrimp. The info is also from Andrea & Antonella Ferrari, the authors of the Macrolife book described below, but this link includes a photo of a Horned Shrimp on a gorgonian. According to the link, the shrimp "inhabits shallow reef areas and is found living only on gorgonians." At first I took this to mean gorgonian fans. But it now also appears that all whip corals, as well as all sea fans, are members of the Order: Gorgonacea.
