Peach Rings Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Picked up a new colony rock today. I think I have been able to identify zoanthids and a chili coral on the rock but am having problems with the others and that pink/white stuff along the bottom in the third picture. Has anyone had any success with nephthyigorgias? Any help would be appreciated! 1 Quote Link to comment

EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 The white thing looks like a bleached chalice or monti, leaning towards chalice. Or maybe just a skeleton on a chalice Quote Link to comment

It is a small private owned store that I have been going to for a couple years now. The owner always has great pieces and even gets rare ones in regularly. Tanks are always clean too. The rock I bought cost $80 but had plenty of coral on it, I felt it was really worth the cost. On 9/17/2019 at 1:48 AM, Tamberav said: It's a blue plating sponge. Nice rock! Thanks! My next step is to figure out what types of zoas are on it. THe NPS chili coral is also doing fairly well with me stirring up the sand bed. I am hoping to have the chance to get coral food for it within the next couple of days. Quote Link to comment
