Help me I.D. this PLEASE!

[hot883]

Hi, and thanks in advance. I went to my LFS and bought this softy for $10. He had a colony on a piece of LR with about 10 total for $80. He wasn't sure what they are. This one is about 2 1/2" when fully open. It has purply soft flesh with neon green pimples. It does have a small mouth in the center. It is cenetered in pic. just above the coraline. Again, thanks for your help. The other pic. is of my zoas purchased online.

i have the same thing, i got it from my lfs but he didn't know what it was either. it's low light i know that, i have mine for about a month now and it's thriving but it hasn't spread anywhere.

Yea, he was at the bottom but the lfs has MH. I have PC' so I put him about midlevel.

I know the pic. really sucks but I'm thinking that it's not a mushroom, I'm almost sure of that.

looks like one of those yuma/ric things, but whatever it is it looks like a nice little guy to have.

Thanks Luke. The more I look at it the more I want the whole colony for $80. Is that a good or bad deal? Anyone, Bueller...., Bueller?

 

[blemmy_guy]

I would have guessed Ricordia too !

[jacknjill]

i think its some kind of ricordia. doesnt look like a shroom

 

[hot883]

Well guys, I really appreciate the help. After lights went out last night I decided to look into tank with a flashlight and it was gone. This morning at lights on; still nowhere to be found. I refuse to destroy my display to find him.

Hopefully he will show himself soon. I miss him already

I am seriously thinking about getting that colony for $80. Good price or what?

A local guy here has the same thing. The colony has about a dozen "things" on it. He wanted $50 for it.

Either way they are really nice when they open up. Take a chance if your LFS will cut you a deal.

A ricordia is a type of shroom.

hot883, pic isn't very clear, but my first guess would be a ric yuma.
