Random coral??
« on: January 24, 2014, 17:03:10 »
This random coral popped up in my tank and im not quite sure what it is??  Its really pale almost a very light green color.  Almost looks like mushroom but never retracts at night like mushrooms do.  any ideas?




Pics kinda suck but its the best I can do with my phone..  It has what looks like polyps coming out of the ends of the coral.

Almost looks like a really small cabbage leather because when there small like that they don't have much color. But I'm probably wrong lol.

Could be a mushroom,  i have seem them turn white when they havent gotten any light for a long time like stuck on the bottom of a rock.

Any chance of a better pic? Kinda looks like a leather with pinnate (feather-like) polyps.

I would agree that it is a cabbage leather. if you touch it does it feel slimy or tough?

I would be certain it is a leather. I have a colony that I have had for 20 years good grower and adds a little different growth  than most coral easy to keep

Yeah, sounding more and more like a leather, and I'm seconding Travis' cabbage leather.
