2 IDs Needed
Any idea on what these are? They started growing on some LR recently.
These also started growing recently, they are on nearly all my astrae and I have some on the LR. |

Kewl! First dibs on a frag?
Lets see what the experts say... |

The first is the red alga Scinaia (it's in the Nemaliales). Is the Scinaia growing quickly? Beware, turbo snails will eat it.
I can't tell what the second is. Can you post more pictures? Is it hard (calcified)? HTH, Kevin

Cup coral? |

The bright pink thing is an 'orange' cap. I was asking about the stalk on the snail. Yes it is calcified.

Probably mermaid's cup (not to be confused with mermaid's fan.. hehe) or Acetabularia. I'd have to see a closer shot of the structure at the top to get better than a genus ID.
I agree on the Scinaia. Neither are invasive.. actually both are pretty hard to maintain for long periods in most tanks. >Sarah

Ohh! Yah, that on the snail looks like Acetabularia to me too. Is the Acetabularia growing in your tank? I've never seen it do well in culture... I don't even think UTEX keeps it.

The odd thing is I've had the rock for about 10 months now and its been sitting in my fuge. I pulled it out and setup my tank, a few weeks later both start growing. I've seen neither before while the rock was in my fuge or display.
If you want I can snap a pic of the tops. |
