[Dragonist]

Purchase a frag pack from lfs came with random corals for $20.00. So you know I could'nt pass it up came with 4 ployps of palys(orange like yellow glow), 6 of some zoas(have'nt open yet), 1 leather,4 mushrooms(2 blue green, 1 red, 1 green. I also receive a purple coral thing which i have no idea what it is.

The leather I will like Identified.


The purple thing im unaware of.

I made pictures big so that they are easy to view. If anyone would like me to decrese the size of the pictures I will.

Wow is Trt on vacation...usually submit a post check it and have 2-5 responses. Loverotties do you have any idea of what the 2 corals could be?

I'm sorry I looked at these and had no idea what they were - smaller pictures would help if you can post those - these are still huge when I look at them.

Any chance of clearer shots? ( I know I often can't provide them myself )

The purple may be some sort of sponge or filter feeding kinda deal - but it's hard to tell.

ooooooooooooo maybe the first one is a toadstool with the polyps not expanded.... has the top one changed at all since you got it?

The first 1 i think its a toadstool also, it displays the small like wart like things. That is the only change that i have seen with in the 4 days i have had it.

I reduced the size of the images and cleaned them up the best I could for you.

This first one may be a toadstool. It will be easier to tell once the polyps are fully extended again, but don't be surprised if that takes
a couple of days or so. What I would keep an eye on is the item I have circled in the photo as it looks like it might be a Majano anemone
and where there is one there are more.




This next one is very cool looking, but I am not even sure what it might be. I am actually leaning more toward a tunicate than a coral
at this point though. Whatever it is I really like the color and the near translucent appearance of it.

the location you circled is a powder orange center paly in a hole of the lr...the purple this is bright purple under actinics, and it fell was smoth than upon light it came back out...the possible toadstool was in the tank nearing a week never extended the ployps...so i traded it in for 5.00 to lfs (came in a frag pack for 20.0 4-5 mushrooms 4 pallys 6 zoas(polyps)

Good deal on the palythoa and on the trade in of that leather.

It sounds to me like you came out on top of that deal.

Yeah traded it in with a Stars and Stripes Puffer...evil EVIL bugger...never attacked fish nor any inverts but eat 3-5 zoas a 10-20 polyp of xenia eat piece off my green mushroom that was 2-3 inches extend...bought him for 35.00 from them and they only gave me 15 on it and put it back on sail for 39.99(this happened in 1 day) he was in tank for 1 week only eat krill and mysis shrimp came home and corals the damage was done(bought him read up on the fish no info located adving of coral eaters only showed will eat fish and inverts!)

[aquawolf]

That truly sucks. Most trade ins work like that and you end up the loser unless you buy a really small nice fish and grow it out and then take it back.
