I'm guessing it's a coral.....

it's over on the right, just below the maroon clown
clown is just about 3"
I'm guessing the coral is about 5-6" across

[teresaq]

some sort of mushroom

 

[krautburner]

do I need to do anything to take care of it?
(it came with the tank)

 

[krautburner]

I saw these,
they look similar
blue

chocolate

green

I notice under "Size" they don't say inches, they say 4 polups or 5 polups
what's that mean?

 

[zeke92]

it means how many shrooms come on the rock. you got 1 polyp.
they dont' require much lighting i don't think. just try feeding it a piece of mysis shrimp or something similar every other day or some phytoplankton

 

[teresaq]

most mushrooms dont require feeding, though some will eat mysis or flake if it settles on it.
what type of lighting do you have.

i said mysis cause my lfs guy suggested it, he said that it will grow twice as fast with whole foods like mysis.

I have plenty of mushrooms that dont even respond to food, yet my ricordea will eat anything that lands on it. Try to feed it, but if it shows no interest, save the food for other things.

I;m feeding phytoplankton
and my lights are a set of double coralife's 50/50 55w
