Looks like some polyp

[Corey Shelk]

these came in the bag with my snails. Can anyone ID them or do I need to get a better picture? They are light blue and look like tiny polyps of some sort

 

[Joevember]

Blue clove polyp?

 

[Crabs McJones]

Blue Clove Polyps perhaps. Be easier to ID if you can get them to open up

 

[cloak]

Anthelia or possibly Xenia of some sort?

 

[Corey Shelk]

Thank you both for the reply! How do I get them to open up once they are out of the bag? Do I attach them to a rock or just let them free float till they attach themselves?

 

[Joevember]

Glue them down

 

[Corey Shelk]

Anthelia or possibly Xenia of some sort?

Are those harmful?

 

[Joevember]

Are those harmful?

They could be if you let them take over your tank. [emoji14]

 

[Corey Shelk]

Haha if I see a take over I'll try and stop it. And what kind of glue do I use to glue them?

You can use any superglue brand that only has cyanoacrylate in its ingredients. I use IC-gel

I had some just like that pop up on a tank that was given to me. Here's a pic of them now. 6 weeks or so of growth

Definitely looks like Xenia to me

I think yours are actually Anthelia glauca - They are in the same family as regular ol' Xenia however - notice the long serrated polyps
