Please I.D. this pink blob

vdituri · 07-12-2007, 11:34 PM

O.k. I've had this entity on a rock that came with some hairy mushrooms. Its been in my tank for about a month but hasn't changed much. Closest I've come up with is a pair of disembodied lips. lol

It almost looks like the start of another type of mushroom, cabage leather?
This is why I am posting for the experts.

p.s. - it is about the size of pencil eraser.

looks like you got yourself some nice blue shrooms, looks like there are three of them there! They look nice and healthy!

Thats what they look like to me too, unless we are not looking at what you want us to?????????

Cassette87 · 07-13-2007, 01:20 AM

sure look like shrooms to me... do they have trunks like shrooms? or is the whole frag pretty thick?

DrHank · 07-13-2007, 06:39 AM

All I see is the shrooms. I have a 2" area of pink blob on the underside of a rock which I believe is a sponge. Chances are, that is what yours is too.

vic's been in that shell soooo long he's gone colorblind, its purple, its no pink. mmmm feel like making chowder now mmmm

caitrina · 07-13-2007, 09:12 AM

We must not be seeing what he wants us to see...he says it is pink and the size of a pencil eraser. I see purple-bluish mushrooms that are bigger than a pencil eraser.I don't see anything pink, but let me tell ya, I was in a LFS store a couple weeks ago and they had the brightest pinkest mushroom that had just showed up on some other rock of mushrooms. They of course would not sell it, but hey maybe Vic got lucky and also came across a bright pink mushroom that is growing somewhere on that rock and it will grow and grow and he will frag it out, so let's be nice to Vic.

sasquatch · 07-13-2007, 09:20 AM

sorry caitrina, I can only see garlic, shallots, potatoes, white wine mmmm goodie!

caitrina · 07-13-2007, 09:23 AM

shhhhh, you are making me hungry and it isn't even lunch time yet...

sasquatch · 07-13-2007, 09:29 AM

a basket of clams, a nice cold beer ahhhh! Victor better get a "this beach closed due to red tide" sign

vdituri · 07-13-2007, 09:52 AM

Sorry took so long to get back, but I fell asleep for 6 hours.
It's called night time. lol

Under normal lights they are quite pinky fleshy colored.
I zoomed pretty good on them in this pic and it was just the actinics.
In the pic they look alot larger than they are, you know the camera adds ten pounds.
They've never looked this blue before.
And they are pretty thick on the base. It looks like a head of lettuce instead of a mushroom trunk, but I've never seen baby shrooms before.
Sounds like that is the consensus.
So do I smoke em' or sautee em'

lcstorc · 07-13-2007, 09:55 AM

Probably shrooms but maybe cabbage leather. I only say that because of the way you describe the base. My cabbage was already pretty big when I got it so I don't know what they would look like that small.
Let it grow and see what it turns into. Doesn't look like anything bad.

caitrina · 07-13-2007, 10:54 AM

Let's all meet at Vics house! lol

lcstorc · 07-13-2007, 10:56 AM

A little to far away for me.

Plus I don't want to know what is happening inside that shell.
