i recently found this peaking out of my sand bed. someone said it most likely is LPS Blasto Merletti but bleached out... when i found it i thought it attached itself to the top of a dead LPS branch(not sure if branch is what you'd call it). but have been told that it is actually it's skeleton... i'm really new to SW so i'm still unsure if that means that the branch became it's skeleton or if it was always it's skeleton. well, when i first found it, it was a little pinkish and a bit larger, didn't even realize it was on a rock until i went to move it. it was also darker in color, pinkish and didn't really look to be round. looked more oval. should i bury the branch/stem in the sand with the polyps at the top like i found it or should i mount it somewhere? right now i have it laying on a rock at the bottom of the tank, unshaded... what is the best setting for this in my tank.
