patback Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I was wondering what type of mushroom this is. It's tan/ creme color with whiteish tips on the end of tentacle type things. Almost reminds me of a bubble tip anemone kind of. Don't mind the cyano. (ok so I feel stupid, does someone want to tell me how to upload a photo from an iPhone?). ;-) Link to comment

patback Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Thanks for the quick replies everybody. As soon as I get an account I'll upload a photo. Thanks ! Link to comment
Fluffeh Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 hmm.. doesn't look like a mushroom to me.. frogspawn/torch? Link to comment
patback Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 It's completely soft tho, no skeleton. I've never had one so I wouldn't know for sure, but torch or frogspawn. Would hurt like a mother if you touches it, right? This one just feels soft and squishy. Link to comment
Fluffeh Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 maybe a long tentacled plate coral! Link to comment
patback Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 That would be cool. My girlfriend ( who knows close to nothing about coral). Was going on and on about this coral she saw at a locksmith's shop and how he got it as a frag and grew like 10 times the size in a little under a years time. The next day "there it is!". In the 5 dollar frag tank so I figured why not. I asked a worker there and he said it was a type of mushroom, and to care for it like you would the basic disc shroom. I would obviously feel much better knowing exactly what it is though :/. I would say no to a plate coral tho bc when it. Closes up, it's about the size of a pea Link to comment
patback Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Wow, that's two for frogspawn. Even though I thought it was a type of mushroom, I'm not going to lie when I say that I like that answer better. Link to comment
GokesReef Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Frogspawn propagates by dropping little buds that look similar to that. They take root somewhere and eventually start growing and forming a skeleton. Just make sure you keep up on water changes so it has adequate calcium to build the skele. edit: looking again, at the base, it looks like it's starting to turn white which would be the first stage to calcification.

patback Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 WeLl. That's exciting, I'm at work right now but when I get home I am absolutely going to take a closer look and hopefully maybe some more pictures to post. Link to comment
GokesReef Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Good deal.. looking forward to seeing them See if you can get a shot of its mouth, too. Link to comment
patback Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 No problem. Thanks for all of your help everyone. Link to comment
mbonus Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Frogspawn propagates by dropping little buds that look similar to that. +1 to this. My hammer just did this very same thing. I went ahead and put it on a piece of rubble, and my tiger pistol promptly took it into it's burrow. doh! Link to comment
patback Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Blah, all I got was I e crappy picture that you can hardly see the frag in. Lights were out by the time I got a chance to snap a picture and my two new Xenia corals kicked the bucket, so after a positive test for ammonia I figured that I didn't really want to piss anything off by turning the lights on and stuff like that. Oh well hopefully today or tomorrow. Link to comment
Kmatt08 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Actually to me it looks more like a baby yuma mushroom. They look almost exactly like this when they start to grow after the parent leaves a bit of its foot behind. The only you can really do is let it grow and see what it starts to look more like. If it is a frogspawn though 5 bucks is very good deal Link to comment
Atela Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 If it is a frogspawn though 5 bucks is very good deal I'm going with frogspawn too. Lucky you, for getting it for $5! Link to comment
patback Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Completely forgot about this thread. Haha. Anyways, here I a photo I shot of it when it was shrunken up, and a pic or 2 of it possiblie splitting tentacles/ nemacysts ? If you look closely, there is a clear "bubble". Coming slightly below the cream colored tip. This was a couple weeks ago, now there are multiple ones and some clearly shrinking and splitting in half then fully inflating again. Anyone feel more confident making a sure I'd? Link to comment
briansbelle Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Looks like possibly a baby torch or frogspawn to me Link to comment
patback Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Target fed... Folded its arms in and wrapped the food. Tell tail sign of torch? Or do frogspawn do this too? Link to comment
briansbelle Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 they both do that. im guessing torch bc frogs tentacles have more than one bubble on the end and are generally green/pink or green/purple. Link to comment
mndfreeze Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'm going with frogspawn. Link to comment
