FraGgLeRok Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I have looked and looked and looked.. lol... and I have not been able to find an ID on the 2 circled items. The item circled in red has a light purple color throughout and looks like a bunch of soft branches or something. It has split into 2 already and I have only had it about 3 weeks now. As for the item in the green circle, it is covering about 1/3 of that piece of LR now, it has a brownish colored base to it, with tons of little green hairs all over it, and during feeding time it seems to send out many clear looking tentacles from is widespread base. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for looking!! Link to comment

BKtomodachi Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 First one looks like xenia.... The second one is a small type of anemone or hairy shroom.. does it have a central mouth, and does it move? Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 BK? There is no way the second is a rodactis or a anemone. I say it is definately a hydnopora frag. I may definately ber wrong on my cauliflower ID though. Dosent look like Xeia though. Well it does but it dosent. More like Anthelia than Xenia to me ? Link to comment
Kogut Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 First one looks like xenia to me. Just a bit too wide, though... :| Link to comment
FraGgLeRok Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 Thanks for the ID replies. To add more description on the green circled item.... it does not move anywhere and does not appear to have any noticable mouth. I also agree with SaltyDawg on the red circled item in the sense that it does look like a xenia... but then again it doesn't. Oh well... I guess I will just have to let it get a little bigger and maybe it will show some more hints. Thanks again everyone Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Green circle is DEFINTELY a green Hydnopora Pavona sp. Look it up to compare photos on the web. The Red circle could be Xenia but looks more like Anthelia more to me now? LOL! Link to comment
Lingwendil Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Red circle looks like closed Xenia to me. Link to comment
