Looks like the typical green stuff to me... I always try to keep some growing on the back glass for my swallowtail angel and regal tang.

Nice tank by the way.....spotless!

LA Lawman,
You have a nice tank, can you or anyone else give me an ID on that great looking coral you have with loads of short, tiny tenticles? I really want one of those! You can see it by looking a LA Lawman's first post with the link!

Sorry for jacking the thread but....
The link to this jpeg is on the first post of this thread. The jpeg is named DSCN0904.JPG and it's the coral to the left of the image!

An id will be great!

I've got to have this coral, it would look great in my tank!

Any guesses are welcome too!

i agree with trigger it looks like the stuff on my back galss also, my starfish and lemmon peel angel love to nip at it, i would take a pic but i droped my camera over the weekend and im pretty sure i broke it

I think its a coral, it could be an anenome!

 

[LA-Lawman]

Those are a colony of hairy mushrooms. I dont have a species name. I picked them up from Walt Smith's shop.....

There is 5 of those guys on a rock. the zooxanthellae has really taken off with the 14k halides....

Damn, that pest looks good when it manifests itself! Must be the actinics! :wink:

I've heard in your American forum about red pulsing xenia, I havent come across this type in the UK. Is it blood red?

 

[LA-Lawman]

Yeah, they are green finger star polyps. It started a small patch and has grown to what u see there,

I also have a colt Coral in there too...

here is a pic.

excuse the algae. i havent delt with it yet....

Very Nice work, LA-Lawman. Be carefull with the Colt leather that thing grows like a sea monster and keep a lot of space, take a look to my creature.

 

[LA-Lawman]

Oh My GOD!!

LA-Lawman try this propagation site:www.eparc.com, search on soft corals propagation, i use the toothpick method. Your Colt have a lot of branches, so wait a year or less and you going to remember what i told you my friend. Ralphyhp.
