how do i know i have a coral

[arpanlib]

hi all,

first of all i am new to the coral section, but i am quite aquainted with with the marine aquariums, inbertebrates, fish etc.

 

i noticed that i have a very small patch of something say, 0.5 cms

it looked like a coral to me. i dont know how young corals look, but it is something flat, but very porous and some tentacles coming out of these porouses.

it is mustard in colour and has seem to grown in a few days. it was very small say one and half month back, but it has grown now.

 

what do u all think it might be, or it is just i am becoming happy, thinking that it is a coral.

 

thanx for the help.

Might be a coral but probably not. Check out the Hitchhiker FAQ at reefs.org and see if it looks like any of the pictures. You might also want to check out some pictures of corals too. Good luck.
