Look at this lucky acan hitchhiker,torch or hammer?

[FreeEnergyReefer]

Please...Help! Seen this a month ago on my lipstick acan thought it was another head. Now not so sure. Its green with blue/purple tips,try n get a better pic tomorrow when the whites come on.

Maybe euphyllia, but maybe galaxia though too?

 

[JGT]

Definite torch.

 

[footgal]

Looks more like a cristata to me

 

[Cell]

It looks more like a galaxea polyp than anything.

 

[FreeEnergyReefer]

Man I hope it ain't galaxea, definitely use a torch though!

 

[Cell]

Is that a bubble algae bubble I see too?

 

[Reefer37]

Based on the shape I'd say galaxea

 

[FreeEnergyReefer]

Is that a bubble algae bubble I see too?

Haha yup of course the only one in the tank I've seen is in the pic

 

[FreeEnergyReefer]

Well whatever it is, should I frag it off or leave it on the acan till it gets a lil bigger then cut it off and place it

 

[Tamberav]

I had green and purple mojanos before

 

[RVA REEF]

id leave it looks to be torch from the tips

 

[FreeEnergyReefer]

Just found another baby something...,what about this one?

 

[Cell]

That's a ball nem.

 

[Mr_Knightley]

the first one is definitely a Galaxea, the second is a ball morph (or nem, whatever you want to call it). Neither are harmful, but I would remove the Galaxea at some point as they have very potent stings.

 

[FreeEnergyReefer]

I gotta definite galaxea and a definite torch comment idk which one it is truthfully I dont know hoping it's a torch though. I'll cut it off tomorrow n glue it to a plug. Thx How did a ball nem get in there I dont have any anemones?

 

[Cell]

Must have come in on something. A rock or frag.

 

[FreeEnergyReefer]

Yea that ball nem is green and blue with so.e white tips atleast its nicer looking than the ones in the google pics. Maybe the first pic is a ball nem too and it multiplied,who knows...one things for sure,if it ain't a torch I ain't makin money on it

 

[FreeEnergyReefer]

I swear dont matter where I get frags from these ppl get around, always giving my tank some kinda hitchhiker.got that hammer from blue ribbon, n the acan from aqua sd.

 

[Mr_Knightley]

Yeah ball nems have a way of getting everywhere, they reproduce so fast. Luckily, they stay to the shadows and don't get in the way of coral growth.
It is very possible it could be a torch, but unlikely unless it was spawned onto the plug (which is near impossible to accomplish in captivity). Meanwhile, Galaxea normally looks just like that as an adult polyp. We can never be certain though, not until it grows at least.
Good luck and God bless!
