what is it?

[blennyluv]

ok, this is the second time i have seen this thing in my tank, its really too small for me to get a picture of. when i try it just looks like a dot
its kind of yellow, and i think i may see some short tentacles on it, pink or tan. about the size of the end of my little finger. it is stuck the the glass on the back of my tank right now. moves slowly, almost looks like s piece of gum!! i am thinking some kind of anemone? even when i take a flash light and look at it its hard to see, but it does have something in the middle of it, like it could be an anemone. good or bad? weird things in this tank!!!

Got Me??? I suppose it may be some sort of glass anemone????....If in doubt and you can't find what it is remove it....Better safe than sorry!!!

[blennyluv]

its tentacles are sooo short you can bareley see them stickin out. i thought glass had long ones. i am sure i have some in there ha ha, i have found some pretty good sized anemones, but they don't have long tentacles. but they are kind of tan in color with a long stem in the cracks of a rock. i hate killin stuff.....................

dani....is there any way you can take a picture of this guy... You say it is moving???? How far and how fast is it??? Can you tell what type of foot or base it has??? Would love to see it......

[blennyluv]

ok this is as good as it gets people
its about a 1\4 inch tops, and it is moving slowly up and down the glass on the aquarium. it is a cool little critter, but so small

[blennyluv]

sooo, what do ya think? took a million pics, i think, this is the only one i got clear enough to make out anything

[Doctor_Reef]

Really cool dani.... It doesn't look like a glass anemone...not sure what it is...but you are right cool little critter....Could it be some kind of baby urchin???

[blennyluv]

that would be sweet. it almost looks like it is the same color as my toadstool , with the same color spikey things. a baby urchin would be really awesome. oh, this is a hitchhiker htat came in on my rock, what is this called???

[FishinInTheDark]

Red actinodiscus mushroom. Great hitchhiker!

[Doctor_Reef]

Wow...that is sweet....Nice shroom....great color!!!! :thumbsup:

[blennyluv]

hi!!
got in there with a flash light last night and took some pics, these may be a little clearer, it does show its reflection off the back of the glass (my family is quite certain i have gone off the deep end now!!) hopefully these will up load a little clearer than the last one

will the mushroom spread?

[blennyluv]

unfortunatly i am thinking it looks like an anemone, but do anemones crawl on glass?

[FishinInTheDark]

The mushrooms will spread. You can also do a search, because there have been several threads on how to frag them. It's pretty easy.

I just don't know what that little critter is. Pretty neat looking thing though.

[blennyluv]

thats about 3 x,s smaller than it really is. i cannot frag, i ahve decided, the thought of acually cutting them makes my stomach turn. i am kinda weird that way. i want to, but sheesh,i don't know, its still small and if it will spread on its own, we will let nature take care of it lol

[Doctor_Reef]

Hehehe....Don't know either what that little guy is!!! It isn't an urchin....I'm with Conni on this it is neat looking!!! And ditto's on the shroom...shrooms will spread all by themselves.... :)

[blennyluv]

DANG
so it is the mystery critter.maybe it will get bigger and we will be able to tell more.

[Doctor_Reef]

It is probably eating all your rock!!!!! And is an alien life form going to propagate rapidly in your tank!!!! ;)

[Doctor_Reef]

You have got to feel better now that you know!!! :lol:

[blennyluv]

i am thinking its a bit small to eat all my rock, but heck, you just never know, now, do you?
you crack me up
