I got some FREE weirdness!

sasquatch · 05-13-2007, 05:56 PM

My LFS had a chunk of rock with some really nice sea grass, so while getting it bagged I spied a kinda glowing little nubbet in the bottom of the tank, I asked O Whats That!! he said take it home and when it grows up you tell me. So now I have this 1/2 dime sized glowy mass with what looks like euphyllia tentacles on it. They had a large shipment a while back, could it be a head that fell off? Ive got it trapped in an acrylic ring to grow out, its too small to get a pic but it seem to be growing, under a magnifying glass the tips look like a yellow dot, do I need to glue it or just let it grow?

This is my favorite part of the hoby, watching little ones grow, nice grab my friend...

I would just let it grow and see if it will attache to something on its own... Hmmm cant waite to see a picture of it when it gets big enough.

sasquatch · 05-13-2007, 09:09 PM

Thanks Guys! its so tiny! and it survived being scraped off the rock and sent home, it was in a sheltered area but I think a crab knocked it off, it showed up on the substrate the next day so I penned it in, Im starting to think its a torch

Do you know if you hold a magnifying glass up to the lense of your camera you can get pics of tiny things........C'mon Steve use your imiganation. I know you have a good one. I've read your posts. LMAO

Yes they do, however as anyone can tell you a 1 million dollar piece is only as good as the 3.50 an hour operator lol.
Thanks Booze it was tiny coral rescue day

Dentoid · 05-20-2007, 09:25 PM

How big is it now?

sasquatch · 05-20-2007, 09:32 PM

I would say its tripled in size, almost big enough to glue to something

vdituri · 05-20-2007, 09:46 PM

What about now? Have you figured out how to take a picture yet?

lol

I've been getting nice little extras as well. Mine was a green glowy nub on the rock my leather came on. I'm thinking some kind of mushroom, but only time will tell. And I got an extra quarter sized urchin on my macro algae rock. It's living in what I'm calling my QT tank until I can find a mantis shrimp to eat the evil damsels. <insert maniacal laugher here>. (Thanks for the idea Bob.)

BEELZEBOB · 05-23-2007, 05:57 PM

make sure you get a spearer and not a smasher.

spears = damsel dinner.

the coolest things ive found are theses.
whoa, weirdness.

no cool corals though.
