If I end up with more than 1 it may just be a candidate for a round robin.

I'm not sure of what it is. LOL

But I can tell what it isn't, fish, clam, shrimp or crab.

If it walks around, then at least you know it ain't know soft coral or polyp!

 

[vdituri]

At least you have narrowed it down! lol

The secret is being in this hobby 40 years and majoring in Zoology and Biology for 5 years( not degree though). But the really big secret is having a $30,000 library in my house. I see something, "yeah, I know what that is, it is in this book" And I may not even know its name at the time. And I have a short memory nowadays, so if I ID something last week I may have to look it up again this week

Also known as Stump that Boomer! lol

We actually had a game like that here. I won Someone posted a pic and and you were suppose to figure out what it was ? I was even told by PM you can't know what that is But I did Want to start a new game ?? Here is the old game. I also teach how to do a search to ID things on the internet
