wali Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 HI guys. So I just collected a few live rocks from my friend's mature saltwater aquarium. but when I brought it home, I notice there is a small coral on it. I need help to identify what coral this is so that I can look up more on the coral and how to keep it healthy :):) Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Where did you get the rocks? As in, what part of the world. Also, you should really look up if it's legal to collect coral and live rock in your area. Many places don't allow it, or only allow it with a permit. 1 Quote Link to comment

Tired Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Oh, I just saw you said from your friend's aquarium. I thought you said it was for his aquarium. It looks a bit like a zoanthid polyp, but the shape of it is odd. Do you see any other polyps on the rock, and does your friend have any similar corals? You may need to just keep ahold of it for a little while and let it grow, to see what it is. As long as it's extended, it's in acceptable light and water. You could try moving it into brighter light to see if it likes that. Quote Link to comment
