w/e it is i like it.

 

[bigbris1]

Deanos may be on to something

 

[rebar]

the cup coral is an interesting theory, as there is a sun/cup coral right next to it. the organe growth may be that. do they migrate like that


but the pink stuff is totally different color, and looks round, like a mushroom. are strawberry anemone's bad?

That little anemone goes by Corynactis. It is more closely related to mushroom anemones, especially Ricordea, than it is to true anemones. It is non photosynthetic and it will spread slowly if there is enough food for it to catch.

I say Corallimorph.
Common name could be "Strawberry Anemone"

That little anemone goes by Corynactis.

Wow.... I guess it's classified as the species of a Corallimorph??
