I have this coral growing out of the middle of one of my Sympodium colonies.
It has the looks of a small Sarcophyton (Toadstool) but with clove polyps. I'm going to try to get a close up pic and post it.

Thats cool James, keep us posted as it grows out. Theres always something neat happening in the tanks.

 

[coralfarmer]

I know you never know what your going to find.

 

[northbay-reefer]

That looks like a baby toadstool

 

[coralfarmer]

I know but the polyp structure is way different.

 

[northbay-reefer]

They tend to be like that as infant and then they change into teanage/toadstool ...lol

 

[coralfarmer]

here's a better shot

 

[Reef Bass]

While that is better James, it is not larger. Maybe I'll get my macro lens out to inspect that photo! :lmao:

 

[coralfarmer]

That Would be great that was taken with an iphone

 

[Grant W]

James have a look at other animals from the area of the Sympodium's origin, it may help in id of the hitchiker. BTW where does that stuff come from OZ ??

 

[coralfarmer]

Grant that is a good idea. Good guess!, I had it trans-shipped straight from OZ last summer. :crazy1:

 

[coralfarmer]

I have to be careful the Sympodium doesn't over take it.
