Can anyone ID this?

I broke down someone's tank and kept the coral. Can anyone ID what this (clear tentacle looking thing) is?

Looked at some pics and I agree. Not familiar with it. Is it of any value (dollars and cents)?

 

[LiquidCache]

I don't think they're very valuable. Really cool to look at though.

Yes - agree - Hidden Cup Coral. It's a very beautiful coral that likes very low light.

I had one hitchhike in on a piece of live rock - I guess they are common in our Gulf coast waters - assuming the live rock I bought was from tampa waters (from that old aquarium shop that went out of business on 19 in countryside - south of Ocean Lifers).

They are near impossible to propagate - the cup and the coral are usually within the rock so you would need to chisel or saw it out of it's rock. They cannot be split or fragged.

No real value as others have said monetary that is. The only place I have ever seen them is on Florida LR ad a hitchhiker. Really cool though.

Correct me if I am wrong but almost looks like a transparent firecracker coral sorta?

 

[ReefWhatYouSow]

[Reefpilot11]

[LiquidCache]

Two different pics of two different things guys. First one is as we identified. Second, i believe sushi man is correct. Majano.

 

[ReefWhatYouSow]

You all have done so well with the last two... Here is another for ya. Is this something bad? Or just a polyp that found its way onto another coral frag?

 

[aznsnakeboy89]

Aiptasia - BAD.

 

[ReefWhatYouSow]

Aiptasia - BAD.

Thanks for the quick reply. I luckily was able to brake it off along with the majano.

 

[ReefWhatYouSow]

Thanks again to everyone for the help! Hopefully I have taken care of all of it.
