the way tentacles are coming off other tentacles makes me think a green fuzzy mushroom?.. but i could be incredibly wrong..

looks like a damaged BTA. some heavy feeding will help that tissue regenerate and the tentacles come back to nice and full. looks relatively healthy actually.

That's not a BTA. I'm not sure what it is, but it's not a BTA. Maybe some type of shroom??????

Could be like a St. Thomas ric?

Just kidding but that thing is for sure ugly looking.

[Reef1589]

+1 I'm going with Reef1589 on this one. Rhodactis sp?

:headwalls::headwalls:thanks for your input, i do not think it is any type of mushroom, this morning it was balled up in a bulb before i put the metal halide on, please see enclosed image, im sure its a nem, but cant find a mouth, it is sticky as well, very very confused, need to no asap if this guys freindly............

My rice and mushrooms ball up like that when they catch something... wouldn't rule out it being a mushroom or ricorida of some type.

and to top that off, im overrun with digitate hydroids, have a manjano in my sump, and just spotted 3 aptaisia on my live rock..... who said marine keeping was easy!

do they look the same then? just that looks very much like how my majano in the sump room goes when fed...

giant hairy mushroom , looks like it was on the bottom of the box on the ride over though...

 

[velfamily]

joining in with +1 on rhodactis or ricordia yuma

I have both. My rics will bulb like that at night occasionally or when they're feeding.

The most comprehensive list of nems with pics I could find:

my green fuzzy mushroom balls up just like that... when they get some food sometimes, and i use to have a maroon clownt hat would swim into and swim out when it was only like 1/2 balled up

yer i thought something like that, im not to sure wether there was 2 different types on the same rock, looks like chemical warfare has been going on between 2 of them, theres patches of pinky stringy stuff next to the "yuma" which i think is something that has been eaten?

St. Thomas Mushroom is a good guess
