Just wanted to share a couple of new additions and get some help on an id. The first pic is a yellow finger leather, it is a little beat up, but recovering well from my lfs. Next, is a rose devil's claw. And the third is an unknown I traded for at my lfs. I'm pretty sure it is a tunicate, the exact one I have no idea. My first thoughts are that it is a purple lollipop, but it has not regrown a lollipop head, but has grown new branches. The base is under the sand and round, like a flower bulb. The color has darkened under my lights, but tunicates do not process light. Any ideas? I also picked up a blushing finger leather, small, but is growing fast.
Please let me know your thoughts, there are many more experienced reefers out there!

I dont think its a lollipop, aka a blue palm coral if we are thinking the same thing here. Never seen one in that color, more of a baby blue and green..could be wrong and pic is not so clear...maybe its a Clavelina sp. tunicate.....sorry not much help, good luck with it.

Rich, thanks for the reply. Hope you are going to watch the games this weekend, it would be cool to see a MSU UM national championship! The odds are slim, but I know a ton of UM fans a psyched with another home game.
Thanks for the line on trades, most of the trades I have had are on the east coast, finding someone closer is better. Right now I do not have much to frag, once the leathers get healthier and bigger I will probley frag them and I always have green star polyps. But I do have some small zoo colonies right now if you know anyone who may be interested, about 10 zoos per rock I can post pics if needed. Not the best time of year, but is still possible, it is expected to be -12 tonight, right now we are at -5.
I will be switching to a new local isp soon, so I maybe down for awhile, but I will check at work.
Later, Jason
