SPS Coral ?

[Rich-n-poor]

ok I have what I think is an sps coral in my tank that hitch hiked on some rock.

I will have a very poor picture posted soon but here is a short description.

it has a branch structure like this...

it looked like a dead skeleton when I added the rock it was on to the tank then I began to notice tenecles at the ends of the branches. The more tenencles then a red flesh started to grow down the stalk of the structure.

It gets more and more poluyps as time passes and the skeleton is slowly being covered with a red tissue could this be an SPS coral ?

I am only running 110 watts of powercompact on this 37 so I doubted this at first but saw an idenicle picture in anotther post entitled unidenified SPS ?

Rich, by the looks of that drawing I would have to say that what you have is either animal, vegetable or mineral.

We might be able to narrow it down a bit more once you get a picture up.

SPS that was my thought as well.

Hey Rich!

Sounds like a great hitch hiker! Your PC sounds like it's doing the job of reviving the coral, but if it IS an SPS, you'll need more than PC in the future.
Make sure your Ca and Mg stay up to par
(>420 Ca and >1300Mg), and start to convince your wife that you'll need an MH setup in the near future to properly care for the new animal in your care!

BTW, for any further advice, it will require approx. 80 bf. of nice black walnut!
