Thats sounds a lot like a mantis shrimp.

Maybe a feather duster?

Maybe a peanut worm? Try and look that up and see if it matches your description

Actually mine grew at a quick rate. It doubled in size over just a few months. It started smaller than a dime and now is bigger than a .50 coin. Ive had it for almost a year now. It all depends on what you consider slow, I have many colonies of sps and those are slow growers...well some of them...

waving hand, pulsing xenia, anthellia are fragged the same way.

looks simular to a trachyphyllia

Looks like sponge to me. Harmless to the coral.

Or if you have a large stalk just take a razor blade to a stalk or depending on how big of a frag you want cut accordingly. Then rubber band it to a rock or stab it through with a needle and fishing line to tie it down. Be careful, xenia smells bad

Ah I did some research and these are in fact young fungia. At a young age it developes on a stalk until it is mature and break off and becomes mobile. The stalk may continue to produce new polyps.

It is quite weird as I never heard of fungia having a base either.

Yea it has a skeleton base. I let mine grow then I broke it off as it was stinging my zoos and placed it elsewhere in my tank. Another one grow back in its place and ill probably break that one off as well.

Thats exactly what I have on my zoos. I broke it off and it grew nicely and another one grew back where I detached it.

Hey requiem Its very nice seeing your tank as it is very breath taking. I am planning on building something very simular to this so I have many questions for you on the build. I really look foward to talking with you about this project as i am very excited to get this started.

Condis arent natural host for clowns but they have been known to host clowns.
