Algae?

I'm now wondering if this could be a Giant Basket Star

This is a type of gorgonie.
Not looking good, as the white tips are skelet where the coral is going back...
No polyps outside, but algae on the surface...
A basket star is looking very different....

Thanks Wolfgang especially for the note on it's health. I can see the resemblance to my picture from https://images.robertharding.com/preview/RM/RH/HORIZONTAL/1103-32.jpg

Hi,
you are wellcome.
We grow different species from the indo pacific in our tanks and breed frags.
So i know how theyshould look ;-))
Sorry for no id, as its a caribean species, thats not my spezific area.
And we once got a very small basket star as a blind passenger, or better we bought the gorgonie because of him ;-))
He was living for some months with us, but had been starving during transport and before selling, so was only recovering a bit even with lots of food ;-((
Regards,
Wolfgang
