Ok thanks

Question for ya: I just purchased this colt yesterday at Caesar's, excellent customer service btw, and I'm wondering about the polyp that appears to be dangling?

 

[Fish_BowLisha]

It's on the left center...

 

[Fish_BowLisha]

Correction... Right of center.

Hmmm not sure what you're seeing Fish_BowLisha.


But hey its a colt coral....tough as nails. Very easy to keep.

 

[Fish_BowLisha]

Ok thanks. Don't want to start out with a tissue issue;-)

 

[Fish_BowLisha]

On the darker polyp- sticking straight out.

 

[Fish_BowLisha]

Maybe this is a better pic of it. On the far left coming out of the first finger like projection.

 

[Fish_BowLisha]

I dipped it in medicoral and melafix just to be proactive. The blemish is smaller now. If it gets bigger I will just redip. Thanks for your input.

It's possible it got stung by another coral, I have such blemishes on various pieces due to me not securing everything in my tank with glue. Urchins, snails, hermits, and even some fish can knock things over sometimes and I'll find them later that day, one having clearly won and stung the crap out of the other.

Makes me wonder if anyone has ever done a "coral dominance" study about who the king of stinging is.

My vote are Acanthastrea sp. , Euphyllia sp.
Euphyllia and I don't get along and I have the scars to prove it .

Thanks for the info. I don't know if this could have happened at the LFS... The colt came with the marks. So far it is swaying in the current and seems happy. It is still only partially attached to the rock it came on though. Should I place another rock at the base so it can attach to that?
