Win BIG prize if you can ID this

[atmachine5]

Just kidding but you can buy yourself a nice cold beer to celebrate

Can anybody ID this, they came in on LR. It has been in the tank for 3 months.

Thanks

looks like a polyp.

If there was a big prize I'd have to say it is a coral.

Ok anybody else think it's a polyp? it could be a polyp, but it hasn't spread at all, from my understanding polyps spread rather fast and become a nusance if not controlled.

I have a few of the same in my tank as well. I was told it was a palythoa and that they are common as hitch hikers on lr.

rusty brown colored with light green center

Some type of button polyp

ok thanks, glad to know what it is, got one more but it only comes out at night, I think it's a tube anenome will have to post pics of that tomorrow.

Sure looks like a button polop, but they require light, never heard of them only coming out at night.

It's a Naso Tang.
I win.

its actually a type of protopalythoa, it is toxic, use care when fragging.
this species show generally grows relativly fast when fed meaty treats, grows a lot slower without supplemental feeding.
also called button polyp, or polyp but it is a protopalythoa.
What did I win?
Just kidding.

I dont know about that I could skate with the technicality that its a protopaly not a regular paly, you just said paly. I think that would enable me to lay claim to the glorious prize offered....

Just kidding, I just wanted to provide more info since I had the time to type it out.
