Coral

[Sagecritter4life]

Looks like a baby duncan coral if that's possible maybe ?

 

[Sagecritter4life]

But I'm a newbie myself...so probly wrong lol

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Nope. Hasn't hatched yet.

 

[Tristren]

did you increase lighting? Is it possible to get a top down pic? any color change? it appears to be less stretched and thicker than the first pic?

No change in lighting.

It definitely looks thicker to me too. Will try for a top down pic tomorrow.

Wait and watch then...

Here's a mithrax i raised from the size of a spider and is now well over 2"

 

[Tristren]

Our mithrax was successfully moved this morning! So hopefully he is happy down in the refugium. Plenty for him to eat there!

One week later the (coral?) is still here.
The ends of the tentacles look more bubble tipped I think. It's still around the same size, about 1/3rd of an inch when stretched perhaps.

Does the growth rate tell us anything?

I would say from that last pic, it is definitely not aiptasia. The tentacles aren't right. Perhaps a majano anemone, also a pest. Check out some pics of them online and compare for your thoughts.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Yea. Looking mojano ish. I've not seen them with the long stalk though.

 

[Tristren]

I will say that a lot of the photos look like mine. But most of those seem to be from threads on forums asking "is this majano?".

One thing I'm finding out is how thin the line is between anemones and soft corals...

 

[Tristren]

I'm still hoping for a coral. Coincidentally enough, whatever this is is sitting right where I wanted to put a leather coral. So that would be pretty cool.

Thats what the lil guys look like when they are happy and about to split. Id say youll have 2 soon if ya dont get rid o the lil guy. They also arent nearly as annoying as aptasia so can always leave it in there til it touches a coral then kill it with some vinegar in an insulin needle.

Glad mine are unhappy.

That would be neat to see.
Also I suppose it says something about my new tank that it's happy : )

They dont tend to aggravate coral as much as aptasia either. They can cover your tank if they get good and happy in no time however... lol

Well I will have to watch for that, but a long way from there : )
