Crazy Zoa

[parnapy4]

OK i bought some live rock and when i put it in i found i had gotten a really dark purple zoa with it. Strange thing is is it doesnt like light. it only opens at night and when the lights come on he closes up. It has also moved to the underside of the rock twice. LOL might be crazy idk. has me boggled. Anyone ever had anything like this besides me? I didnt think they could move. I also got a really bright green one with red on the tips really nice never seen one like it.

probably not a zoa... they don't tend to move much.

it may be a majano nem.

[parnapy4]

Thats what i was wondering. imma go look for a pic of one. If it is, is it bad?

[parnapy4]

OK found a pic of a mojano....def not that. it opens and looks just like a zoa. has the center and everything.

Pics... Thread... Worthless... Don't make me get the squirrel

Probably one of those things were if you can't find a pic, we probably won't guess properly

Definitely going to need a picture of this one. I am tagging along as you have peaked my curiosity with your description of it.

[parnapy4]

I not gonna be able to get a good pic its in a crevice of my live rock. but I have other Zoas so i know what they look like. this is the same thing. just doesnt like light. the lights come on it closes up. very strange to say the least. its a dark dark purple almost black.

I wonder what the chances are of it being a black sun coral polyp. You might try feeding it at night to see what it grows into. Very interesting to say the least.

I was going to say Black sun coral but they don't move!Need pic!

[parnapy4]

I know i wish i could get pic but i have tried and just cant. i kinda thought it a black sun. never seen one b4 though.

[nemmy]

Not a suncoral if it moves.Sounds more like some sort of small nem.Try feeding something small such as a brine shrimp when it's open and my guess is it'll grab it.
You may never find exactly what it is.I've had several things in my tank for years that i've never identified.

thats an anenome

[parnapy4]

well i see that today it has split now there is two of them. so idk. guess ill just keep a eye on it. its very small. is there anenomes that small?

[ChilisREasy]

yes, i had corynactus anenomes once..VERY tiny, when they closed up they were nearly invisible

[parnapy4]

OK I think iv decided its an anenome. After looking at pics of Mojano anenomes. gonna keep an eye on it. if they start spreading all over ill nuke em.
