ID please! :D

I've had this on a frag for a while and no-one can Identify it yet!

It retracts when touched and is slowly growing. It doesn't look like anything I've ever seen before.





Thanks!

Sorry about the pictures.. the green "star" like thing is what I am looking for an ID on. The structures you are thinking are torches are worm tubes actually... the sticky web spitting kind.

As for the green star, it appears soft and blows in the currents... but I am still at a loss.

Really hard to tell with the pic being so fuzzy.

You know what... i can't believe I didn't think of that myself. It is so clear and apparent now that I thought about it. It has grown out some and details can be seen when I used a magnifying glass and I am 89% sure that is what it is....

I just kalkwasser'd the sucker and hopfully that will be the end of it. I think they are nice and all, but definately a pest.

Thanks all for your input!

Case closed I think!
