Looking for an identification

[Dr Blue Thumb]

What is this:



It's the inside of a Australian recordia yuma. I've noticed it spitting out tentacles.

 

[Purple Platapus]

Any pics of it with the tentacles out?

So am I supposed to be looking at a stressed corallimorph showing mesenterial filaments or a reproducing corallimorph with mesenterial exposed?

[Dr Blue Thumb]

Having his first discharge. after being 75% healed.

 

[Dr Blue Thumb]

I took pic's of this:



And as I took pics of this pac man looking organ in the body of this shroom, it started spitting out polyps. but I lost the pic's. Any idea of what this organ of the shroom is called?

 

[Dr Blue Thumb]

This is how I cured bacterial infection of the stomach in these Aussi Recordia Yuma's, they were originally infected. So i sliced them open to relieve this acid build up.

So Dr.Blue is also a mad scientist.?

 

[Dr Blue Thumb]

Here's a pic of an infected yuma, it has swelling around the throat/mouth:



And you can see the throat melting a bit.

So Dr.Blue is also a mad scientist.?

The only way, is to amputate sometimes. I've taken these pics years ago. I'm thinking of buying some shrooms again.

 

[Dr Blue Thumb]

Sometimes I cut their throat off. Just to make sure no bacterial infection is still present.

Here's a florida recordia. He's just regrowing his throat/mouth:




Here's another pic of that pacman looking organ:

I think it's, it's throat?

 

[steelheader.262]

Interesting

 

[Dr Blue Thumb]

I think this pacman looking organ is his throat. He may spit little individual polyps out to regenerate it's body tissues.

or throat and belly in one.








I cut the florida rics into 6 and the aussi yumas in to 2.

 

[Dr Blue Thumb]

Here a pic of a healthy aussi yuma mouth:




after I sliced into 2 a let grow for a while, you can not notice any swelling or loss of the yellow lips

 

[Dr Blue Thumb]

imo, every little polyp on the aussi ric yuma has the ability to have all the dna necessary to build another clone of itself. So putting these guys in the blender, would work, as long as you strain the guts/slim etc, from the tentacles/polyps. Considering the fact, it obviously doesn't require a mouth,throat or stomach to survive. The trick is slicing them before they become too infected in order to save itself from rotting away like so many aussi yumas do. Who wants to be the first to ensure a $200 a polyp, 10th plus generation yuma spreading successfully in a community of peoples tanks? it's just unfortunate that I bought so many sick shrooms in the past and now I know what I have to do to save them, but it should be at the whole sale level that these guys are treated. Because one infected shroom can spread the infection among other shrooms within the same display. Just like hign end calices and acans, yumas too should be collected successfully and propagated before they hit retail imo. Not left to die in a customer's tank.

 

[Dr Blue Thumb]

Here's how some retail stores sell shrooms:




not my pic, it's just a matter of time before it dies, slicing around it's mouth into 2- 4 then chiseling/slicing around the rock should cure this guy in no time.

You can image it's internal plumbing not working too good, considering it looks to be melted away and it's belly caved in. These guys are supposed to have little hair like appendages in there abdomen that create a strong current within them. bacterial infection creates an acid that rots away these hairs and the internal organs of the shroom.

Here a pics of it's internal plumbing working:





Even with it's stomach split open you can still see the typhoon type action of the cilia type hairs pushing around waste within it's belly.

 

[Dr Blue Thumb]

This is the Helicobacter pylori equivalent in humans. If untreated, the acid can wear away at the lining of the stomach then effect internal organs.
