Gary.F Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Any ideas on the id of this little green guy which has appeared at the base of this euphyillia? It has an orate dot at the centre. Please excuse the terrible photo. Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Looks kind of like a Galaxea coral, but hard to tell from the photo. Link to comment
nidding Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Looks like a baby euphyllia head to me. Or rather it could be a number of hexacarals, but given it's location, and the fact that euphyllia sometimes sprout little polyps from the side of the skeleton, a baby polyp would be my first guess Link to comment
Gary.F Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Thanks. A baby euphyllia makes sense from the placement but it doesn't really look much like one in the flesh. Since I can't get a really good photo, I'l try to describe it. It's flat and round like a mushroom polyp but with six raised structures radiating from the centre. The centre is an orange dot.

markalot Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Ah, orange dot. Plate coral, probably a baby one. Look close, use reading glasses or something, is that orange dot a little mouth. Grown up version: Link to comment
Gary.F Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Ah, that could be it. The problem with viewing it is the same as with photographing it- the distance from the glass. I'd need to lift a large rock covered with coral and with other rocks braced against it. As long as it isn't going to turn into a Great White, I'm leaving it there . Link to comment
Gary.F Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 This guy is growing and I have a better pic'. My LFS guy suggested that it might be a baby ectamea anemone. Since I have no idea what a baby version would look like, I'm throwing it back in here. Thoughts? Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Nagano maybe? Or wrong color? Edit: Majano maybe? Or wrong color? Link to comment
Gary.F Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 What's a Nagano? I can't find anything apart from the place in Japan. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 What's a Nagano? I can't find anything apart from the place in Japan. WHOOPS! I meant Majano Anemone. Autocorrect Link to comment
Gary.F Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 I reckon we might have do do a sweepstake. I'm leaning towards an anemone. It recently contracted quite a bit when I had some water issues. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm leaning towards baby plate coral. Link to comment
