Hey guys! after reading the forums forever, I finally decided to join up.
Anyways, I have a strange growth on one of my pieces of live rock. It must be the superman of marine life considering all its been through.
I dont have a picture so I will describe it as well as I can.
Its roughly the size of your thumb from the mid-knuckle to the tip. Imagine a white cotton ball with a tube-like opening atop the cotton ball. The tube widens as it reaches the top much like a trumpet. Towards the base of this creature where it is connected to the rock, it has what looks to be white translucent 'fingers' (for lack of a better term) that are begining to branch off into smaller fingers. Roughly a few inches below it, another one is growing. They seem to be growing at a slow rate. Every now and again it pulsates once or twice, like a beating heart.
Im just curious. I'm not particularly concerned about it's development, but I would like to know what it is so I may guage its benefits or lack thereof in keeping it.
Thanks in advance.
