Hello Dan. What is number 3 and 4 from the top
 
Dan looking good. Are you still happy skimmer free? I’m considering limiting mine to lights out as I’m having nutrient deficiency issues. Love the old Tonga.
 
Hey guys, I posted a thread and nobody replied so I figured this would be a good place to ask. I bought an 8$ rock a few days ago and it had a sponge. I was excited because I want one in my refugium to filter more water. However when I got home I noticed what looks to be a baby coral. The guy in the shop said there is a very strong possibility that it could be because they had a coral spawning happen and their tank was flooded with coral eggs that hatched and they got mixed in with the frag rock. Thank you guys in advance for your help! I never intended to get a coral (yet) but it looks like I have one or more and the shop owner wont take it back and Im not gonna just get rid of them.

So my question is what kind of coral/s could this be? I was thinking kenya tree maybe. If the second thing isn't a coral what could it be?

Next question is, do you think this is a coral larva? They vary in size depending on the coral and could be up to the size of a rice grain. The fist pic is actual size zoom at x8. The second is in a drop on a microscope at x1000. It has a weird bulbousy back end that would become the first polyp if you watch a video of one becoming a polyp. Its also really squishy looking and doesnt move like a worm. It can swim unlike most worms.
