My boyfriend purchased a mystery coral in L.A. It is very strange and I have never seen anything like it in a fish store.
It inflates and deflates and is the consistency of a soft coral. It moves around like an anenome looking for light or position. Once it finds a good spot, it usually stays there for quite a while.
The shape is like a cucumber... it is pinkish in color like a colt coral. It has a stalk that it likes to anchor itself with under a piece of live rock. When inflated, it has many arms that look a bit like xenia stalks. I have seen these arms snatch flake food out of the water. It stays big all day but every night it shrinks up to a little tiny nubbin. We've nicknamed it something which I can't repeat in this forum.
So... consistency and color of colt coral, behavior like an anenome, shape of a cucumber with hundreds of long arms.
Anyone know what this is? I really want one for myself.
