Terryz_ Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Saw this mysterious coral among a zoas rock with a bunch of frens and none of us have seen it before... Can some coral experts confirm this coral? I tried searching but cant find a similar looking coral... PS: Not the Zoas... Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Reefer yikai Posted November 1, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted November 1, 2010 very bad photo but it's definitely not a soft coral or LPS, or any other coral for that matter. This is some kind of tunicate/sponge or something of this group i think. just some weird hitchhikers that as you know, can be very difficult to ID... my guess...maybe Ciona intestinalis with the siphons closed?
