all in one or is that just one color MIX?

Well the base is more brownish green and the bumps are more yellowish green. The closest match I can find on this site are the Frilly Mushroom coral and the Hairy green mushroom coral.

I hope so, that would be awesome having two hitchhiker corals surviving from two pieces of initial live rock. Would that qualify my tank as a reef tank then?

be careful!!!! corals are VERY addictive!!!
I started with some brown zoos.. and now i have green and blue!!
and a colt coral
originally i wanted a FOWLR

Just to show where I cam from here is the earliest picture I could find of my tank, had some fake stuff in there and only 10 lbs of live rock. That live rock is now the two pieces of rock that have my zoo and my possible mushroom. It has been well over a year since this first picture.

Here is another pic I took of my moved zoo today. He looks healthy and I hope he starts to spread out soon.

Just some more pictures of my fish & some inverts in this order
1. Royal gramma
2. Male clownfish
3. Female clownfish
4. Royal Gramma, both clownfish, and blue damsel
5. Peppermint shrimp in his new hiding spot
I tried to get a good picture of my scooter but they all came out blurry, I will try more later

 

[jerthunter]

Anyone else? Just wanting to get more comments.
Still interested in ideas as to what that thing on my rock is. (first pic.. also reposted a clearer picture later...)
Any other comments are also welcome...

 

[jerthunter]

No one else wants to comment on my tank?
Oh well, here is another picture, it is supposed to be of tiny little feather dusters I found hanging off the bottom of the live rock I moved.

does it have beads/balls on it?? looks like possible a type of mushroom...
very nice hunter! ***)

 

[jerthunter]

Yep, kind of like beads, I am hoping that in a few days since I moved it, that it will grow so it will be easier to identify. Thanks for the comment!

how bout a yuma, ricordea...??hairy mushroom? pic below is of hairy mushroom
my lfs had something that looks similar i think and they titled it as a beaded anemone...dont know if that was right thoughm have to look in google more :notsure: but the thing the lfs had was just like a mushroom, with tons of little beads on it...the 2nds pic is of a ric florida...anything like that? the bottom is what the my lfs had, or what it looks like at least(also another ric)....just trying to help

 

[jerthunter]

Kind of looks like that last picture except a lot smaller.. Thanks for the help!
I am still leaning toward hairy mushroom, I have seen some pictures that look very similar to what I have.
I don't think it is a beaded anemone, I did some looking around at other pictures of a beaded anemone and it looks completely different. So my money is one hairy mushroom

 

[bronco300]

well my lfs had one like the last as well, veryyyy small, maybe size of quarter or a bit bigger....later that month i went in and it actually expanded after they had moved it around...
