Can someone tell me what this is?

 

[DaJMasta]

Blastomussa, a lowish light LPS. I can't really tell if it's a wellsi or a merletti... I'm leaning wellsi.

 

[Adolfo]

rock flower anemone I guess

Looks like some type of anemone. I got no clue which.

Yeah thanks that looks like it for sure. I didn't know blastos got that big it's about 5" across. I thought they just grew more heads.

Looks like a rock nem to me too.

Does it have a skeleton, cuz I'm pretty sure this is a nem.

 

[RELLIK-REEF]

It doesn't look like any of the rock flowers we used to have.
Google shows a perfect picture of the same one as a blasto. Thanks again

merletti only grow one inch but wellsi can grow four to five inches

Does it have a skeleton under it?

I have never seen a blasto with tentacles like that.

And then it starts to get debatable as it really looks like a pacific green rock nem. Ughhh

No, looks like a foot to a nem.

Nems are completly soft tissue and blastos have a hard skeleton. Easy to tell them apart.

No, it looks like a nems foot

As others said. Rock flower
Gl. Beautiful piece.

 

[Chortanator]

+1 on the rock flower nem

 

[RELLIK-REEF]

Ok so next question, do they split and grow more or will it just do its own thing?
About to start setting up the 300 gallon and need to learn a little more about this little creature. We had some before we had our 180 crash but we didn't have them very long.

you need a female and male to reproduce

So it would be safe in our big tank then.
Scared of putting something in that will be invasive. Going to put all out ultra rose nems in the sump they keep splitting like crazy bought one and have 7 in 4 months. and I don't want them hurting our sps.
