Help, there is an unknown visitor in my salt tank
I bought a coral laden piece of live rock from a very well known coral farm.
It has an evergreen starburst colony along with a couple of corals that I haven't identified. However, I noticed that one of the "things" on the rock is slowly moving its way off of the rock onto the rock below it. It is not spreading...it is moving!!! I have no clue what this thing is. I have attached a picture and any help would be greatly appreciated. It is about 2 1/2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. TANK INFORMATION 46 Gallon Euro Bowfront Tank 36" Nova Extreme Pro 6x39w T5 (2 hrs dawn, 9 hrs daylight, 2 hrs dusk) 45 pounds of Florida Crushed Coral Substrate 45 pounds of Fiji Live Rock (2) Maxi Jet 1200 Shatterproof Heater Tetra Bio Filter Tank Established for over 5 years CORALS (2) Sarcophyton Leather (1) Flower Leather (1) Purple Finger Leather (1) Evergreen Starburst Polyp colony (1) Blue Devil Damsel - Chrysiptera cyanea (1) Banggai Cardinal - Pterapogon kauderni (1) Saddled Valentini Puffer - Canthigaster valentini (2) Blue Velvet Damsel - Neoglyphidodon oxyodon (1) Brown Scopus Tang - Zebrasoma scopas (5) Turbo Snails (1) Scarlet Hermit Crabs |

Re: Help, there is an unknown visitor in my salt tank
I dont know a thing about salt water but it looks like a small anemone to me, they move and some move very quickly. The little tips made me think anemone.
Also, NICE picture! |

It looks like it might be a Ricordia Mushroom

Re: Help, there is an unknown visitor in my salt tank
Mushroom??? Wow...mushrooms can move across a piece of Live Rock? I'm telling you, this thing is moving right off of the rock onto another piece of rock. Wonder if it's because it doesn't like the bright light

It is a ricordea mushroom. It will move around until it finds a spot with the flow and lighting it likes.

Indeed that is what it is. Those little guys will move all over my tank until they find a place, then they stay.
