Looks like organ pipe corals. Is the red base hard or soft?

 

[barnacleblenn]

thanks viper. it's hard. so is it pipe?

 

[barnacleblenn]

oh man, i broke it off and peeled the gsp off of it. does it look dead? what are the chances it might come back to life?
the gsp rock doesn't look like it's doing good either.

Both are pretty hardy, especially the GSP. My pipe organ are funny corals though. They recess into their tubes for days at a time, then just pop out.

i'm not to sure the pipe organ is going to make it. it was covered for weeks and it just looks like a hard skeleton now. i hope somehow it revives itself.
kicking myself for not rescuing earlier!!!
