What is it?!

 

[twilliard]

That is an absolutely good question!
It is huge though

 

[Duke4Life]

An underwater aloe vera plant? J/k

 

[rayn]

It looks like a anemone a bit, but black?

 

[Baby Ray]

I would defiantly say some type of anemone
Maybe @Lionfish Lair will know

I have another post coming for @Lionfish Lair

But if she know on this one...

 

[Lionfish Lair]

No, sorry....

 

[Lionfish Lair]

Maybe give a shout out to the NPS folk.

 

[Baby Ray]

Could it maybe be a black sun coral?

 

[Lionfish Lair]

It probably one of the solitary varieties of dendro.... what's the solitary big ones.... I forget.

Any time I search for "black coral" those come up. Black lps, black nps, black anemone...all lead to the black sun coral. I can't find anything like this.

This is the foot or base of it.

Getting a slightly better look now and it definitely has a mouth in the center and can pretty much shrink itself into a little ball.

 

[Baby Ray]

I got nothing

 

[rayn]

Well I got a probable ID.

Octopus anemone.

So who knows about them?
