What is it II ?

[Bill B]

Hi,

Y'all solved the Chiton real quick. Now I have another for you.
http://home.comcast.net/~bberg100/Aquarium/What-is-it-II.jpg

It is painfully obvious I am a rank amateur at salt water tanks, but why
is it so difficult to track down what things are? Or am I just to obtuse?

Thanks!

It's a coral. I don't know it's name off hand, but I am
very familiar with it. It is a slow groing coral that is
easy to keep, benefits from light, but does not need it.
As long as nothing grows over it, or stings it, it will be
easy to keep.

THIS is an aiptasia...

Thanks Wayne, I thought it might be some kind of coral.

Bill, you make me feel a whole lot better asking b/c I have the same
problems. I can never find exactly what I have. I've got 6 or 8 photos
here, that I still haven't got round to uploading, of things I was going
to ask about. I sure can't find them or can't be certain.

So far, Wayne, everyone agrees that is Aptasia, I am not quite sure of that
but in my opinion it is an anemone.
You just think is coral but coral polyps don´t have that shape and you
haven´t come up with a name or a picture showing the calcareos skeleton or
any proof that is an Anthozoan...

You just amaze me everytime you answer something.
Do you own a business? please let us know.

Remember, you are the one storing sea water and said that never had a
problem with it...

LOL open your eyes. The skeleton is quite visible, and yes
there are corals that look like that. You need to broaden
your horizon on the diversity of corals. Even the person
that made the original post knows that it's not aiptasia.
Even he knows that it's a coral. Even he can see that.
It's so obvious that it is a coral. And yes I am very
familiar with that coral. And no I don't know the name,
but if it will make you happy, we will call it "Fred" :-)
Even the Austrailian Institute has not named it, and yet
you want me to give it a name????

Not bad, George. I was thinking more like Wayniuos Fredii (W. Fredii)
for the guy who suggested the name, or even Berglinious Fredii (B.
Fredii) for the man who first reported it.

lol

You watch now, it about six months some rag will publish an article or a
kid's thesis will appear that uses the name! ;-)

You said that the skeleton is quite visible yet it is not clear what kind of
anthozoan is it...
You also said that you were going to name it Fred because the Australians
haven´t give it a name..

No bulbs, and I can't tell if the tentacles are a double circle or not.

Well, you are the one that mentioned the Australian Institute. Lost me
there, I am also in Fla...

As for the coral, you take too many risks trying to name a cnidarian from a
picture. As far as I could see, there were no definite ID signs in that
picture. It could have been any cnidarian, they are diversed and difficult
to ID even under the microscope...

I had a few of those growing on one rock before, it even started spreading.
I do not know what happened but they all died off. Have no idea what they
are, but they are surely not aiptasia. They do leave a little skeleton
behind when they die. I believe that would mean they are some kind of coral
right?
