oncorhynchus Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I was repositioning some live rock in the tank and when I looked at my mushroom coral there were what looked almost like a clear button coral or something protruding from under the mushroom. The larger bubbles were maybe dime size at their widest. Here is a pic. Any ideas? Link to comment
GokesReef Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Need a different angle shot.. hard to tell. Link to comment
qbical Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 might be its foot and might be it laying another shroom, kinda hard to tell Link to comment
oncorhynchus Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Unfortunately I could not get a better shot. It retracted quickly... I'm liking the idea of it being its foot. Link to comment
Kazooie Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Kind of looks like eggs. Link to comment
GokesReef Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Doesn't look like a foot to me.. it retracts? Majano? Link to comment
yoshii Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Looks like part of the foot Link to comment
ciedre Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Looks like part of the foot +1 Looks like part of the foot or a baby shroom. Link to comment
IamTomm Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Thats no Majano. It might be a bubble tip. Not a shroom if it retacts with any speed. Link to comment
TinyGiant Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 is there any coral structure on the rock.. could be some sort of hidden cup coral or relative to sun polyps. i recently bought a large zoa colony that was covered in tiny hidden cups Link to comment
clifford513 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Looks like its foot to me...probably producing a babby shroom. Link to comment
GokesReef Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Thats no Majano. It might be a bubble tip. Not a shroom if it retacts with any speed. I agree it looks more like a BTA, but look at this Majano: Very similar shape, coloration obviously can vary. The part about it moving makes me thing it's not a foot. Also, the fact that I've never seen a mushroom foot that looked like that. Would seem more likely for a Majano to randomly pop up like that than a BTA, but who knows. Link to comment
Sunstar Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 my first thought is bubble algae that's "died" or released its spores. I've seen it look like that way. Obviously I can't poke it with my what the frag are you stick to see if it retracts or not. but does it behave like an animal or is it sort of hard? or does it kinda dent? I forget what dead bubble algae does. Link to comment
