what the heck is this?
 
[IMG]http://reefcentral.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=235195[/IMG] can someone tell me what this is?

i know this is a really bad pic but i needed to zoom way in. it is just to the left of the feather duster...

Live rock with some sort of worm tube?

Finding Emo 01/03/2008 10:51 PM

no just to the left of the duster...the brown tenticly thingy

it originally had sand stuck to it and i was curious what it was so i was kindof playing with it and sand started coming off and this is what i found

crap, my eyes cant see it

Is it like an anemone transparent and round white tips?
if so, I have one too but don't know what it is; it kind of opens at night but no worries on this thing since is isolated on a 20g still running til I find a home for it (the tank)

Pseudocorynactis is my guess. Some people consider them pests because they can sting but I have a few in two of my tanks that never seem to multiply. I think they are pretty cool.

Orange ball anemones...?
Have it don't like it, looks kind of neat but have a bad feeling about it, like aiptasia

That's what I thought, seapug. I think it's some sort of corallimorph, I was thinking it looked like a tropical relative of the corynactis. Maybe it's just a little tiny Discosoma? I think that most likely...

It will be easier to tell what it is when it gets bigger. Or borrow someone's camera and use the macro setting (looks like a little flower usually).

I used the macro setting but in order to make the pic the rite size i had to crop it and i dont have very good software to do that in...and had to do it in paint...i tried downloading some stuff but i couldn't figure them out...so i just stuck with this...

My book says Pseudocorynactis ,says sting can be harmful to corals, clams, snails,and crustaceans upon contact,also harmful to fish and the powerful sting that may be toxic to humans.It also says reef safe ha sounds like it????
