Now this thing has shown up. Wasn't on this rock a month ago when i mounted the Hydno. Looks like a flower, calcium skeleton, green veins, orange center. Tried to scrape off with finger but is stuck well?? About the size of a pencil eraser.

by any chance do you have any fungia in your tank? i have tiny fungias and they kinda look like that.

+1 (actually, more like +35... still don't have an exact count... :xlbirthday:)

they're a fairly common hitchhiker, so even if you don't have other fungia (that you know of), it's still possible. at least it's not a hydrozoan! :bounce3:

tiny, meaty... a jedi craves not these things. but a fungia sure does. it will need to be fed to survive, no matter how immaculate the conception. when it gets big it can eat everything from brine shrimp to asterina stars to silversides. at this size, zooplankton bastings would be ideal. avoid any prepared foods that contain copper sulfate.

Miguelp19 and Triple One you are right on.....That is exactly what it looks like. I have no other fungia but I guess I do now. That live rock I got last time around sure is "LIVE" with all kinds of hitch hikers. I'm thinking it must be from the Forest Gump chocolate box tank...Thank you for your help
