Blue hard coral Hitchiker

fashionphile · Jan 17, 2010

came in on the side of a rock with another aussie coral
this has been in my tank with the light thats mainly for growth so I dont think we have seen its potential yet. I just moved it today to my color up tank.

To often when you hear the term hitchhiker it is referred to something that we dont want in our tanks. Glad to hear someone finally got something nice.

Its only about the size of a quarter.
Was about a half dollar when I got it in. Receeded for a bit, then came back. For the first month I wasnt sure it was going to make it.

so flat, non symetrical, encrusting, skeletal growth right up to edge of flesh, ---echino--not to mention the coloration up yo this pointe, specially since we can see a little of the skeleton.

Acan maxima are found only in the waters of the country Oman ... and are strictly indigenous to Oman only. :angel:

100% still not a fungia.

I am certain it is a cubanesis...

Looks like an echino of some sort; you may have the next my miami on your hands. All you have to do now is create the hype, and slap a huge price on it... Nice hitchhiker for sure!

at first i was thinkin scoly but now i'm thinkin echino. I think we are gonna have to wait and see what it looks like when it is all grown out. One of the best hitch hikers i have seen though.
