ID please on a rescued frag?

I was given a few drags by a local guy when I picked up a couple tangs from him.

This is the most interesting one & I have no idea what it is. The pic kind of make it look like zoa polyps, but they heads are larger & it has a hard skeleton. The pictures are horrible. Sorry. I'll try to get some better ones tomorrow with a non-camera phone.

Under actinics, by far the brightest thing in my tank!

Looks like a Red/Green Blasto Coral to me

do a search on Google for that and see if it matches what you have


BTW very bad for your tank so send it to me and I will dispose of it properly :lmao:

lol what is the other stuff in his tank right beneath the blasto coral

I was thinking it may be a blasto. I ha just never seen one this color. The pink is fairly accurate. The center is a real bright yellow similar to a highlighter marker. The while thing just glows like crazy, even in natural sunlight.

The coral toward the bottom is a small toadstool. I need to move it.

Any feeders present late at night after lights out. If so ,feed them . It will help

I haven't seen feeders out yet, but it's shrunken in quite a bit. I'll try to target feed it a bit tonight and see if I can get any sort of extension.

I looked around online at Blasto pictures & I still haven't seen anything like it. The structure looks similar though. I think mine might just be in rough shape.
