ID please!

Not sure if this'll come out clear, the last picture I uploaded didn't. It seems to be either growing from my live rock or the branch that my mushroom corals are growing on. Anyone have a clue?

Possible better pic

Honestly I can not make out what I am ID'ing. Can you circle it and blow up the image.

DalPal25 · Jul 28, 2016

Hang on, even if I circled it the image is such poor quality you wouldn't be able to tell... Gonna take the picture on a different camera and see if that works... I take the picture and it looks clear on my phone but when I upload it, it looks awful

DalPal25 · Jul 28, 2016

Hopefully this one ends up looking better. It's right under the maroon spot on the branch, it looks like it has tentacles

Why are your pictures so small? What are you using to take them?

DalPal25 · Jul 28, 2016

iPhone 6! I've only ever used it to take pictures but only the last 2 days has everything come out so blurry... Real frustrating

DalPal25 · Jul 28, 2016

I believe its aiptasia... I've heard this is bad so to be on the safe side I want to remove it. Any specific way I have to do it?

Lionfish Lair · Jul 28, 2016

Hmmm. There must be a weird setting Those pictures are clear enough, they're not large enough. When you upload, does it ask what size you want to use?

DalPal25 · Jul 28, 2016

It asks me what size I want to use and gives me "best, medium or small" and I always click best but it doesn't specify whether best is the biggest, just says best

Lionfish Lair · Jul 28, 2016

Huh! The phone is an awesome camera, so there's something going on somewhere... Is anyone familiar with the settings?

The first pic looks like an aiptasia. Get rid of it with aiptasia x, lemone juice, boiling water, just do it quick. Search how tos and should find easy method.

DalPal25 · Jul 28, 2016

I'll try it on medium quality, by all means it shouldn't work but can't hurt to try

I'm trying to read about the settings, but I'm not seeing it yet!

Thank you, this kind of help really is what makes this forum the best

Were you uploading them directly to the site from your phone?

We have to figure this out for all future hitchhiker pictures LOL!

DalPal25 · Jul 28, 2016

Yes from my phone to the site. If it helps I'm using the app. But I've also used the app many times before to upload pictures and they came out clearly

Lionfish Lair · Jul 28, 2016

So weird! I have an iPhone 4, so I don't know if there's extra setting that you have that I don't.

Is there another way to upload those pictures without using the App, just to see if it makes a difference? Does the App change the size?
