Help on Shroom I.D.

tippMANn98 · 12-17-2007, 10:18 AM

I picked it up on friday for $5 bucks! And I am now unsure on what it is....At first I thought it was a rhodactis, but after a day in the tank it expanded very nicely, and it seems to be some type of a Yuma, I think. Take a look, here is 2 pics, There is also a very very small one on the rock its on, the little one is probably 10-15mm across....not very big at all....I know its NOT a FL ricordea...

Its very very nice looking too!

my first impressions is discomussa sp. but send the lil one to me for further study~

Doesn't look to be ricordia either. I have seen some discosoma species with the raised bumps like that.

Check out the mouth on it...its raised up like my Yuma, and like others....I cant seem to find discomussa sp. anywhere, could you give me a link to something...thanks guys!!

sorry,,,frozen brain,,,,i work outside at night....last nights windchills were 0 to -10....its a friggen shroom,,,but i want it~

panmanmatt · 12-17-2007, 10:48 AM

Even discosomas can gave a raised mouth like that. ID can be difficult through pictures. I agree with Wit on this one, send it up for further inspection.

In the mean time, check ut some of the pics on this page:
Poppe Images - Marine Iconography in the Philippines
