It was incredibly hard to get those pictures... pinching the screen to zoom while pressing the lock and home buttons to screenshot.... may have pulled something.

Looks at image#13 on the article, looks similar no?

I just keep going back to the tentacles on the edge and what looks to me like skeletal ridges. Not my images...

I'll keep looking.

This as much fun as watching Renee on a bug hunt!

Yep I am going to break out the books, unless someone saves me from myself.

What became of the unknown?
Sometimes we can track it down by geographical origins of the rock?
It's not everyday you see something that does not at least stir some recognition.

Work in a couple hours but I'll get back to it unless someone else wins, oh I mean figures it out.

My friend and I traveled 3 hours to a shop going out of business in slippery rock pa, and we just started pointing at things saying I'll take that and that and that.. you know how those going out of business sales are.. anyways this was one of the purchased items that was I think bought out of a random/ misc tank. As for what happened to it, I had to move apartments at which point my buddy took ownership of all my livestock. It was was a decision I've regretted ever since. :(

Hmmm.. what about an extremely small Meat Coral?

Im may have to change my vote from a nem to Acanthophyllia.

 

[Jay_M]

That would be interesting though because when I was looking into those meat corals, I was reading they can't be aquacultured/ fragged. Is this true?

 

[Jay_M]

This is definitely the most similar looking coral I've seen.

So is that fishing rod looking thing in the center attached or did it eat something and get stuck? I still have a few more books to go through. :(

 

[Jay_M]

That is most definitely attached. It does look like he consumed something though. It was the strangest thing.

 

[WetWhistle]

I bet it uses that as a lure to attract its pray close enough so they blunder into the tentacles and get eaten. Very neat.

Looks like its eating a piece of algae to me. I see my corals doing this sometimes when they catch a floating stand of Bryopsis.
