Three weeks ago, i was at a local Pet World getting water and saw this rock in a dirty holding tank for fish. It had 7 really small bright green polyps and some dead skeleton. The skeleton looked kinda like blasto wellsi so i asked how much and they said $3.

I feed every night frozen cyclo and they have almost tripled in size even thought the biggest is still way smaller than a dime.

I dont expect anyone to be able to ID it for at least a few more weeks but anyone have any guesses? I'll stick with my guess/hope that they are blasto's. I'll update every week until they are recognizable.

I was a little lazy this week and only fed 2 times but they still grew a little. Still can't positively id them but i still think blastos based on look and how they feed.

Apparently, my thread got moved to this forum so that NOONE will see it:rolleyes: This forum is great in theory but noone knows it is even here because it isnt on the main page.

Considering i am the only person viewing this forum, i doubt anyone will see but i'll post an update anyways. Definitely blastos but there BRIGHT green has faded a little

The bright green color before is just the color of the center, the outer edge is a duller green color. Due to it growing back you are now seeing more tissue so it is deff. not losing color but gaining flesh!

I think they are blasto's I have merletti's that look just like em and they will color up nicely for you....

Nice score!
