What is it?

**Psychographic** · 03-25-2008, 10:23 PM

I like to snoop around my tank at night with a flashlight, it's amazing some of the things you find. I found what looks like a clear Dendro, anybody have an idea of what this is?

that is what we call an anomaly in The Matrix.

but i seriously dont know what that is, i like the featherduster below it though, some nice coralline algae going, very cool.

Look like it may be an aiptasia. It not a good thing if it is. It will spread an eventually may kill corals. Let's hear what others say. If it is indeed an aiptasia you need to get a product called Joes Juice. It will kill it right away.

i would guess aiptasia too if it is -------->

tsouth · 03-26-2008, 12:41 AM

It's not aiptasia. H/o while I do some googlin

GrkNyer · 03-26-2008, 01:03 AM

I don't think that it's aiptasia. I had that stuff awhile back . Doesn't look anything like it. Aiptasia is a little more beige in color.
If it's a new morph of Dendro I want dibs

tsouth · 03-26-2008, 01:10 AM

Why are you so sure that it's a cup coral? Can you post the link you go this info from please?

tsouth · 03-26-2008, 03:51 AM

Siiiii. Here ya go

**Psychographic** · 03-26-2008, 07:26 AM

I know it's not Aiptasia it looks like the pic in the link from Tsouth it even has the rings on the tentacles. It's in a spot where it would be difficult to feed it, but must be getting food on it's own, so I'll hope for the best for now.

Gotta love hitch hikers!

Thanks T.

Live Rock Looks Awesome Not Sure What The Invert Or Coral Is

**Psychographic** · 05-07-2008, 11:16 PM

I had to move some rocks around to make room for things and fragged the 2 Cup Corals off the back of the rock they were on and mounted them to a disk for now, I hope I can train them to open during the day. This is a pic of them tight after they ate.

OctaviousMonk · 05-08-2008, 12:23 AM

Cool, keep us posted on how they do.
Side note I don't think I have ever seen an in tank shot from you without a fan worm and bristtle worm in it lol

Wingo · 05-08-2008, 06:03 AM

Cup corals, usually found in rocks and muddy water of Florida. the last pcs of mine is in my friend's house. They are cool-they even eat hair algae, believe it or not.

Are you sure they were'nt ball Amenomes? They look somewhat similar, the BA's have little balls on the end of their tentacles with an orange base, these are growing out off a stubby branch.

BA's on the left, CC's on the right.

How big are yours?
