I've been a lurker for a few months to this site, and what a great site it is. My eyes are kinda gettin old so my wife bought me a magifying glass for small print. Well I got to looking reall close up on my live rock and never knew that I had so much stuff growing in my tank. If I had a good zoom camera I would take some photos, but I don't. This stuff looks like little green polyps coming out of a white hole on the rock. When you shine a flashlight on them they all go back in the hole like a snap. Any ideas?

The white hole looks like the one in the photo below, but way smaller.

From my post you may have seen how hard some identifications are to do even with photos... without, darn near impossible.
Can you describe it more? Is it feather like? How big?...
IMO, the Live rocks themselves are pretty cool to look at. Now that I have more corals in my tank I do not look at them as often, but I still do. I discover new things all the time.

It's hard to tell what might be in your tank without a picture of it. It could be all types of things but a few polyps of a hitchhicking coral sounds plausable.

Welcome to the site and we are proud to having you browsing.
"Can you describe it more? Is it feather like? How big?..."
When I showed it to my daughter she said it looked like a feather duster. There are about 4 or 5 seperate polyps coming out of that same little hole acting as 1 when they retract. I will try to get a pic soon and see if it will show up.

Finally got a pic. This was taken with the lense of the camera up to the magnifying glass.
