Coral found in your tank you forgot about

[Arthacker87]

So I moved a rock to get anemones off of it and underneath there was 8 lava lamp mushrooms. I can't even remember buying them. Hard to see cuz I can't lift rock up but those are the babies and there is a mother one thats baseball sized on the back. Pretty excited to see what happens

 

[Arthacker87]

Anyone else find a coral they though was long gone or forgotten?

I had montimpora come back after I lost it all to alk spike three years later. Crazy. I have found cabbage leather out of no where (it can literally survive a bomb, I think).
I also found a tiny little green polyped long tentacle toadstool I thought I lost a long time back. Put it on the rock and a few weeks later, it blew away again. If I find it again, I will mount it better.
Fun to get surprises every now and then. Good ones, that is.

 

[Arthacker87]

Good and bad ones lol. You've found a lot!!

Now that you mention it. I found this in the sand bed the other day, I can't remember ever buying it. Can you name it for me? Thank you for thinking of this, great idea.

These Eagle Eyes- definitely never purchased them. Also two polyps of Promethean that showed up out of nowhere

With how white they are I'm at a loss!! Maybe after they color up a bit we can get some peeps to try?

Haha

Anyone have any idea on these white zoa esk things from Anthony'sgf?

Thank you for asking others, I was thinking of asking on a separate post but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I got a small red monti as a freebie from the LFS. I popped it from it's plug and was rewarded with a tiny green and purple monti that had somehow survived underneath it.

Need more info. Fleshy like a soft coral or hard skeleton underneath.

It is funny though, my water chemistry is not perfect and I find this gem in the sand, thought it was just an old dead piece. I can't keep Duncans happy but I have this clam for going on 2 years now, squamy I believe.

It looked like a white rock covered with pores, I thought it was a dead coral so I just left it on the sand bed. When I seen the polyps after a few days I mounted it on a rock. looks like a flower pot coral that I remember getting several years ago but thought it died and haven't seen it again until a few days ago buried in the sand. So surprised. So it has a hard skeleton like a solid rock and flower pot like polyps, maybe goniopora. Or alveopora.

Sadly, no. I keep very close track of all of my coral.

Looks like a short polyp goniopora . bleach red or pink.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking. I remember several years ago getting what the LFS said was a flower pot coral, I didn't know at the time the real names of corals. I now have a few gonis and alveaporas.

My first guess was alveopora.

 

[anthonygf]

My first guess was alveopora.

It may be, they are so similar looking.

12 tentacles is alevopora. 12 + is goniopora. Both are very beautiful!
