hitchhiking LPS

Keith_Man · 04/25/2007, 06:05 AM

Hi,

Does anyone have any ideas what this is?

Its approximately 5mm in diameter, there is a group of about 4-5 polyps, red flesh, green mouths and has a stoney skeleton.

Came on some rock from Fiji.

Is currently in indirect light, almost growing on the underside of the rock

Any thoughts appreciated

It's one of my favorite forums, but I wonder if people forget to check it because you don't get to it the way you do the other ones.
Sorry, I don't know what it is either, what I can make out of it though looks neat

aside from people not frequenting this forum- there is no way to identify this coral from the photos provided. The polyp shape is a very generalized one, and without a microscopic view of a clean skeleton, you wont be able to get a positive ID. Sorry. Its an interesting hitchhiker though.
