New Hitch hiker, what is it?

Warnberg · 05-20-2007, 03:27 PM

Anyone?

sasquatch · 05-20-2007, 03:33 PM

anemone? rock or sand dwelling? feed it , watch it grow! they do have really nice color. Ive got some in the sand bed about the size of a quarter

aquaman3680 · 05-20-2007, 03:40 PM

looks like a button...

prow · 05-20-2007, 03:41 PM

looks like it might be a mojo. does it retract into the rock if you touch it?

Warnberg · 05-20-2007, 05:41 PM

It does close up and retract back into the rock, slowly... not real fast.

Sorry, commented on the photo page.
It looks exactly like the button polyps I have, mine just don't have the cool green mixed in. Mine are all redish brown. They like snacks ocassionally. Cheetos, squid whatever.

An anemone

mps9506 · 05-21-2007, 09:28 AM

Can you nab a photo of it retracted?

Warnberg · 05-21-2007, 10:39 AM

I might be able to, it's kind of small right now....

prow · 05-21-2007, 01:01 PM

here you go dave, look at the 3rd up from the bottom it shows big mojos on the left and small ones like yours on the right. Predators

vdituri · 05-21-2007, 02:15 PM

That's weird. The ones on the right look like zoos?

Warnberg · 05-21-2007, 02:44 PM

Well, not sure what it is at this point, but it is isolated on a single rock so I'm going to watch it to see what it does, maybe let it get a little bigger for a better id.

Boomer · 05-21-2007, 04:26 PM

It is hard to say Dave but based on what you have said some type of anemone IMHO. I do not think it is a mojo. Need a better pic.

Warnberg · 05-21-2007, 05:03 PM

Thanks Boomer, it's on a fairly good sized rock which I can move with a little work.

Warnberg · 05-21-2007, 05:03 PM

well now I just hit 1900 posts....
