ross76053 Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 My live rock/sand have been in the tank now for exactly one week, and I seem to be having a mini-cycle (no spikes in anything). I've got [what I think are] pods crawling all over the glass and in the sand, and about six coral sprouts. Can anyone ID this one? I noticed him just this morning. He contracts down to nothing at will, but stays open most of the time. He's about 1/4 inch in diameter. Ross Link to comment
Korbin Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 itty bitty feather duster Link to comment
chufa Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 yup, I agree. I got a couple of those. Link to comment
ajroahkni Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 I've got a few too, but I don't think that they're dusters (got a few of those too, and their tips are definitely feathery in appearance, and w/out the large diameter core of the creature in your beautiful photo). I'm hoping they're not some sort of aiptasia-ish anenome. Mine's lime green at the tips and they are singular (not clumped like Zoos). Same characteristics as yours though Ross. John Your LR is a beaut! So many holes in it. Link to comment
harbingerofthefish Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 ajroahkni if not an aptasia, it could easily be a cocoworm. they have the feathered fingers, but thier variations are much more diverse then dusters. if you can actually see the tube it is in it can be very helpful if diferrentiating (how mis-spelled is that the two. ) Link to comment
