Can anyone tell me what this is? It came with on the rock when I got it. It appears to be some sort of mushroom.

Looks like Ricordia sp. to me.

I haven't seen anything like it for sale anywhere.

Heres a thread on Rics that might help....https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/show...light=ricordia

definitly a ricordia. possibly a yuma yuma.

That is a great hitchhiker if you ask me. Ricordia aren't cheap where I come from. I fed mine mysis shrimp and they multiplied like crazy.

How exactly do you feed it shrimp? Just put a turkey baster by its opening?
If a Yuma comes from the pacific then it should be that. The rock came directly from the western pacific. I'm not sure where exactly though. I'd have to talk to the guy I got it from.

Actually, I use a flavor injector. It has a smaller opening. I took the needle off first.
