Need Help with this one.

mswafford17 · 03-25-2007, 09:19 PM

I have a closly growing together acro. it is light to cream colored. with very light polyps almost white. I was looking at it today and found a crab, porcelan. he is ok but i also found a fish. about 1 inch in length tapered from the head to the tail. the face has stripes that go vertical. and the body has lines going the length of the body. he is greenish in color and the srtipes are of a lighter color. he swims and perches in the branches like a hawk fish. anyone got any clue what he is and is he a friend or foe???

you can see a pic of the coral

it is the tall one that looks like a tree. if you know what kind of acro he is let me know as well. I will try to get a pic of the fish as well...

The fish either sounds like a blenny of some sort or a clown goby

lcstorc · 03-25-2007, 09:34 PM

My first thought was a clown goby as well but I haven't seen once with stripes like that. If you can get a pic that would help a lot.

Is this the coral you were talking about?

I just copied the image tag from the site and pasted it here so people can see it more easily. If this is the wrong one you can do the same with the right pic.
Very pretty coral but I have no idea what it is.

clown goby would be good but the blenny I dont have a clue on, I am trying to find a pic in one of these books I have but 2500 pages later no luck.

that is a finger leather. the coral on the right is the one i am referring to. the one behind the finger to the right ...

Ok you coral ID experts. Still looking for an ID on this for this thread. Here's the pic for you.

lcstorc · 03-26-2007, 09:45 PM

If you ever have any frags of the bright pink coral, let me know. I love the color. What is it?

mswafford17 · 03-26-2007, 10:12 PM

Lynn,

believe it or not the acro is cream colored with white polyps. and the finger leather is white and then shades to a green when he gets sleepy. I just got my coral glue toady and I am waiting on some reef plugs. then I will be fragging off some of the acro and the finger leather.
