jenniebutterfly Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 i have no clue what these are. i have them on this zoa rock and some on my gsp rock. they have small feathery petals. there are 8 of them. they are maroon in color with a white center, and when disturbed they pull all the way into the rock.

jenniebutterfly Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 oh and i should mention that they do not get any bigger than this. Link to comment
abernier Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 i think they might be clove polyps http://www.livestockusa.org/POLYPS.html http://www.berlinmethod.com/images/photos/...daisypolyps.jpg Link to comment
ricky1414 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Possibly young anthelia polyps. Link to comment
jenniebutterfly Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 nope and nope i have had cloves and i have anthelia. these do not get any bigger than they are now. i have had them for about a year now. no changes, they just spread. they are about 1/8 high and the same across. they are very tiny.

Doriftu Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 would be interesting to know what they are, in the meantime you could always send them to me hehehehe my tank always welcomes unidentified strangers. lol Link to comment
jenniebutterfly Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 haha very funny. i have actually grown quite fond of them. thats why i would like to know what they are. they fully retract into the rock when disturbed. and they don't seem to bother anything. Link to comment
Doriftu Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 all the more reason u should send them to me Hope u find out, sorry i cant be of any help. Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Some people call those "daisy polyps". Pretty sure they're a type of Anthelia, but not definite. Link to comment
janasleah Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Jenny I have a few like that...they are incredibly small (2mm in height). I always assumed they were a type of anthelia. They certainly haven't gotten any bigger in 5 months. Haven't multiplied, either... Link to comment
jenniebutterfly Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 mine pull into the rock, and i don't know of any anthelia polyps that do that. just weird, but oh so cute Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Check out the last question and photo on this thread. Looks like some Clavularia sp.; they show the green strain. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/polypidfaqs.htm Link to comment
FragMaster Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Daisy polyps are clove polyps. I think that is exactly what you have Jenn. Could be sand polyps but I doubt it. Link to comment
