Id?

[clord]

I have something like those in my tank but like 7-10 and much more green its a paly

 

[oddballs]

its obvious from the old pic that they are palythoas.but i wasnt convinced that it wasnt an anemone either!just because one person decides what it is and you dont like the anser does not mean its wrong to everyone else on the thread.also this is a public forum not your thread sorry if you were tired but no one deserved that!

Protopalythoa mutuki = correct

amazing that in your five years of extensive research at the

"Thatfishplace Research Facility" you haven't come across one

Hows that for educated?

actually protopalythoa is being eliminated as a seperate genus, as tests are showing that palythoa and what was called protopalythoa are the same down to the species level.

Protopalythoa mutuki = correct (as of 7/3/06 with research into the reclassification or elimination of the Genus currently underway )

lol sorry, it was late, and i was pretty freaking tired.

i just dont like uneducated answers like that. If you're going to contribute to a thread, at least make it relevant. I've ruled out aiptasia from day 1. It has never looked, or acted like aiptasia.

the budding further supported ruling out aiptasia, or any kind of anemone. Anemones split. This polyp buds. You can clearly see that in the picture.

Sorry I didn't "think" I contributed in a negative way with my question or statement. Nor did I insult your intelligence as did you mine. Forgive me I am obviously the Uneducated one.

FWIW people like you should temper your response...this is an open forum and I hardly think you are all knowing since you asked for our help.

gotta agree with john 76 on the species.

 

[spineshank385]

sweet....thanks!

hilarious... got to love the "know it alls"

They know everything, but they still have to come on the internet to help get an ID on a paly

pretty much my point :lol:

 

[spineshank385]

i never said i knew it all, i said i KNEW it wasnt aiptasia

 

[ZURCSREEF]

You had a algae bloom

 

[msman825]

WELL what is it??

 

[spineshank385]

Protopalythoa mutuki

 

[hrstrnr]

LOL Aptasia... I'm glad I got to read all this after the fact. My guess was a Paly morph too... Glad I was right in the end... Too bad I'm not a know it all... But glad I knew it wasn't aptasia either...

 

[spineshank385]

i figured it was a paly of some type from the beginning, just didnt know what type, which is why i posted.

my second guess was a tiny heliofungia :rolleye1:
