i think the thrid pic is a fuzzy mushroom

 

[kidreef]

nice and what is that last pic of?

 

[babyb]

thats a flower pot coral, they tend not to do so well in the home aquarium, i have heard they dont make it past 9 months

 

[nu2salt]

thanks guys... i have had the flower pot for about 8 months and the base has doubled in size. when fully extended it is the size of a soccer ball. it was one of the first corals i got and all i do is feed it coralifes smorgesbored(sp?)

The goniopora (flower pot) has actually done better in lower quality, from what I have witnessed with many customers' tanks in the past.

 

[reefkprz]

I'm going to go out on a limb as why lower quality water would raise life expectancy of goniopora. IMO nutrient rich tanks tend to have higher planktonic concentrations, providing higher natural rotifer concentrations in tank, plankton live on the nutrients, rotifers consume plankton, both of which the goniopora consumes. super clean overskimmed water doesnt leave the available food for constant feeding, I think the goniopora needs a steady constant diet, one spot feeding even once a day cant fully compensate for. this is just another untested, and unsubstantiated theory from the brain of a madman (me).

Is the third pic a fuzzy mushroom? (does it look like grass on the top?) or does it look like weird shaped bubbles like a retarded hammer?
There is a funky shroom that has little bubbles on top that are mis-shapen (not a ricordia)

 

[puffer32]

That mushroom is sometimes called a frilly mushroom.

 

[nu2salt]

thanks guys the mushroom seems to be the retarded hammer per shrimpi.

aka frilly mushroom per puffer32.

lol, yeah I thought it wasnt a 'standard' fuzzy mushroom. It looks like the 'hammer/retarded/bubble' kind. I guess its called frilly.
Haha

Nice shroom regardless of what its called!
