Here’s a little bit clearer of a picture, also if anyone can confirm that on the bottom of the base of the skeleton that it’s not aptasia but is actually just a very dark feather duster (if such a thing). It behaves like the other two feather dusters I have but I’ve never seen one that darkHey everyone, so I have a dead torch coral skeleton that I’ve been watching carefully for new growth. Turns out what I thought was new growth is really some sort of clam or other bivalve. Wondering if anyone is able to tell me with a little more specificity what it really is, thanks!!!
The torch is definitely toast but I'm not sure what it growing out the side. Maybe in a few more months we'll be able to get a better view as it grows up. I had a coral that died off at one time, months later I thought I'd remove it and when I did noticed something the size of a pin head so decided to leave it. Few months later it became obvious it was a disc coral. Today it lives hapily in the sand and is around 6".
I assume you are talking about this:
Looks like an oyster of some sort.
Not directly feeding it anything, but I am dosing marine snow and phyto every day.I assume you are talking about this:
Looks like an oyster of some sort. Are you feeding it anything?
I’m hoping for a miracle story like that for the torch but every day I lose a little more hope lol. Finding whatever this is was a bit of a bright spot. It’s definitely grown over the past few weeks though, I’ll be sure to update with pictures!
No, it appears to be fully shelled. I should also mention it’s light sensitive and I can watch it shut quickly whenever there’s a quick change in light
