Mark, does it have a skeleton?

mseepman 02-15-2014 05:55 PM

Not in a worm like way no....and they receed at night like the polyps of an sps coral. At first I thought maybe galaxia...but I have none. I thought hydroids. But just can't match to any pics.

I mean skeleton like an LPS. I was kinda thinking Galaxea too. I'm not entirely sure what it is.

Scale wise, how big is it? Looks more like an elegance to me than a galaxy. At least in my experience when galaxy's drop polyps they look like little stars, or GSP polyps, albeit with more of an inflated tip.

About the size of a dime. It covers the rock like Sps, in an encrusting way....with polyps.

I got a bunch in my tank. Green pocci. My colony spread at least 30 babies like that.

Ahhhh....that might make sense. I have what I think is a green pocci that has never really done much of any growing in the last year....it is fluorenscent while this little one wasn't so I didn't connect them. I have been pretty careful about pests in the tank and this had me confused.

Do they become a problem in time?

Yeah Pocci. Good call. I got a bunch of those too. :lol: They can be a pain in the arse.

They "drip" polyps beneath and around their colonies. I've seen a few posts requesting help riding their tanks of it.
