Anybody know what this is?

[Gill Roy]

Almost completely clear with some tiny white dot on the tenticals and a bit bigger dot on the tips. It has a hard skeleton like a stoney or a very small (6mm) Frogspawn. It is getting much bigger lately also I have 2 more almost as big.

They look pretty cool but I don't know if they are good or not.

I know my pic stinks but cant seem to get it to focus through the glass.

Hope I resized these better.
You can see the "rays" from the mouth center of the skeleton.
The tenticals are over an inch long

Not aptasia either.....

Are they a good hitchhiker?

They don't look half bad. I wish they had more color however.

I had them for a while and one of them stung the begeezus out of a nice Acro....:cry:

 

[jnbrex]

i had one kill a cool brain type coral that came in as a freebie

 

[Gill Roy]

So, should I get rid of em?

I don't know about the Phyllangia americana, but I would recommend you work hard to remove that algae that's growing on the rock. That stuff is miserable to get rid of once it gets established.

I have plans to put it into the refugium for my 120 when it's up and running soon.

Now I am not so sure.
What does everybody else think?

That algae has lessened, or slowed down on growth in the past few months since I really noticed it. I have plans for it, however it can be some tenacious stuff from my experience.

~Bad idea to leave in the coral tank till my plan comes together~?
