ALIEN LIFE FORM

[Wudotcom]

So looking in mytank and come across this..........what have I got? How is it controlled or eradicated?

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Thats pretty neat! Do they move? Or open up more?

My first thought is, it's coral.
@Tahoe61 @KJ I've never seen anything else like it.

When I first saw it, I thought ok I've got baby toadstools. Then I thought it's aptasia on steroids. I've never seen anything like it before.

Yup I got nothing

except a possible type of Snake Palys. Not my image.

Is it possible that you can post some pics of this alien form fully open for an easier ID?;Bookworm

 

[cdmckinzie]

[Wudotcom]

I haven't seen it open at all. Someone thought its just Aptasia.

The funny thing I've only noticed it on the rocks I got from a store in Nashville, Tn. The other rocks aren't touched.

Some of the rocks came from Aquatic Critter in Nashville.
