spider web looking thing

[ost911]

hello all!

here lately ive noticed 2 spider web looking things growing on a large peice of live rock. they look to have thin light pink tenticals with little bubbles on its tips. i poked it with a wooden dowel and it closes up and looks like a slimy pink booger.

they are small about the size of a quarter when open, and so lightly colored that they dont even show up on a picture. thanks!

i couldnt get a good picture of the ones i started this thread about. looked and found another. so i have 3 of them. one in full light on top of my lr, one about half way down on the side of the lr, and the one pictured was in the shade. i moved the rock to take a pic.

they do kinds resemble a nem but ive never seen another so??? i will get the dig camara out and take a good picture after my tank settles i did a wc about 15 mins ago.

If you're talking about the milky white glob, its usually some die off from when rock is transferred to a new tank. Is this a new rock recently added?

....Insert Funny Signoff Here....

I think it's a type of anemone. I have a couple on LR and no others have shown up.

 

[ost911]

i think they are to! whippet can you post up pictures of yours?

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

really hard for me to see too... does he look like this?



If so he is a Hydroid

 

[ost911]

yes looks like thoes. but growing directly on the rock. are they nice?

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

Could also be a type of foraminifera

not really good... but both in a new tank when very small usually die off as their food source are consumed from what I have read

Maybe this?

If it is it is a ball anemone.

I have three in my LR.

I do not think they will pose a problem.
