gio14 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hi all, here's something new (at least to me) to be identified I bought this frag last saturday (it is supposed to be blue xenia even if I'm not totally convinced on the id) and that strange red thing which was almost not visible this yesterday started to show up... if touched/disturbed deflates and is almost not visible, when fully extended it is 1.5-2cm long, it has a "huge" mouth and a beatiful red color Since it is able to move I do not think it is a sponge, so, what is it?!? 1 Quote Link to comment
filefishfinatic Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 tunicate. they are very intresting creatures. if you manage to reproduce it i would be suprised. what kinds of fish do you have in the tank. a rare find like that would be worth protecting. 1 Quote Link to comment
