Unknown coral???

[StevePalmz]

Have a few of these small bright green specs on the sand wondering if anyone has any clues as to what it might be? Tia

Any chance you get a little closer? Maybe to the one that has multiple prongs in the middle? And maybe with a little more whites on?

Looks like a tentacle that fell off a coral

Best I can do in focus.
I dont have any corals that resemble this shape and color

 

[James M]

Any full tank shots you can provide ?

What kind of corals do you have in your tank?

Anything that is irritating the coral could cause it’s polyps to detach. I once found parts of my goniopora colony buried for a day (dang pistol shrimp) and found bright tiny neon polyps on the sand bed. A powerhead also detached once, blowing directly at my toadstool leather and detached a polyp.

I’ve had this happen to me also I have a little cluster of something but I see tiny stinging tentacles on mine it’s a little cluster of three that loosely gets kicked around by the flow not sure what it is either I’ll also have to post a picture of it I have no coral in my tank that resembles it unless it’s a baby ultra rock nem

I also did not realize that it was my goniopora until I saw my goni shriveled up at night since the polyps look very different in coloration and texture when expanded versus a disturbed state. Maybe take a look at your corals when the lights are off to see if any polyps look similar to that of the ones on your sand bed?

+1. Looks almost like a tip of one of those torch tentacles.
