I just got back from my LFS and picked up a ricordea and 2 zoanthids frags for free.
on top of that i picked up a 25 pound rock that he pulled from one of the show tanks that has some kind of polyps on it and a pretty good sized leather coral on it. and i payed 5 bucks for that.
what i would like to know is what kind of polyps they are and what type of leather. thanks for your help.
They been in the tank for about 30mins so soory about the poor pictue.

well IMO...the polyps look like brown button polyps, and the leather looks like a stubby finger leather

UMMMM...I do think you have some type of alage on that rock too....hard to tell from the pic, but if it is feathery it may be bryopsis.....you need to get it out...scrape it off...don't let any float away

 

[urizen]

how can i get it out?
can i get something that eats it?

I have some of those polyps "brown button" or at least they look just like the ones I have. They multiply like crazy and are large. I would also agree on the finger leather, we will have to see if its "stubby"
