Hi Everybody!
I regularly buy full systems from folks shutting down for whatever reason. Sometimes it's bust, like the one that came with a million flatworks and broken equipment. Most of the time it's just extra livestock with one or two things I don't have in my collection.
But sometimes, I find some neat and unique livestock. Like this one, not only was it on an 18" wide clam shell with a bunch of zoas, it was a mushroom I had never seen before. I originally thought was a blue hairy mushroom (Rhodactis howesii), then I wondered if it was a rhodostoma. Either way, I let sit for a year to grow and get comfortable.
Now, I'm wondering if it may not be a rhodactis at all, they are all still pretty small (3" max), but they are showing more Actinodendron physical characteristics. They aren't quite as "branchy" as a typical actinodendron, maybe it's the Heterodactyla hemprichii anemone? I thought I would throw it out to you folks for some input.
