I have some like that too. Very old coral in my tank. About 10 years before I got them.

Interesting, they came from an old system over here.

Now for the mushroom from Hell...this morning I see it's on the move. Ballooned up like a nem. I think I'll put it in a bowl with some rubble.

I've been told this variety is very rarely available now. I agree, they have a very nemlike appearance.

I think I'd be cool with only mushrooms. So many textures and colors.

friends swear it's a nem. I've been told it was a recordia yuma. It started like yours.

How does mine compare to yours.

When I first got it is on the left.

Good luck! I had a filefish that ate all of my aiptasia and then started in on my zoanthids. You can't trust anyone anymore. :P

Love my little jawfish. He’s got attitude ;)

He was going top side for some food..until he was side swiped my my flame hawkfish.

How long have you had it? I've always wanted one but have always come back to them being difficult and liking cooler water temperatures.

I've owned two. Had one that was a model citizen in my 40 breeder. Only thing it went after was my Xenia which at the time was a starter frag so fish had to go. Current one is a captive raised one from Pacific East Aquaculture who sourced from BIOTA. This little fella while doing the job well eats everything including the kitchen sink. No zoa is safe (sadly my coral beauty and scopas tang eat them anyway), clams (destroyed both blue and gold maximas), duncan, and now my hammer.

It manages the pest(s) well enough although I see a few larger ones that outsmart it by hiding during the same and only coming out at night. At this point I just accept the collateral damage and loss while keeping everything else in check.

I see a copperband coming once the pandemic reduces the stress on shipping since I no longer have clams. That or I just roll with what I have and add different corals.
