what the heck is this critter?
:stars:

[tazzy695]

looks like a small plate coral to me

I am asuming you are asking about the purple colored one centered in the pic

if not the other pally is texas trash from the looks of it

Fungia? Short tentical.

[jimsflies]

Yeah looks like a plate/fungia. I would definitely keep that one to see what it becomes. The purple/pink is intriguing.

Is that a newer piece of rock?

[11purewater]

I thought at first that it might be a baby plate coral,but there is no skeleten.It shrinks up like a anemone when it eats and the body/stem stretches and contracts between light cycles.It came on a new piece of indo live rock two weeks ago.It's about 1 inch in diameter and the tenticles are double the length shown in picture.Right now its in a low flow spot in my tank for acclimation(hence the algae on rock,cleaning crew's on it!)

[11purewater]

Blastomussa maybe?the tenticle bases seem to resemble some larger polyp ones

[MizTanks]

That's just awesome! Plates are very cool corals. I might have to get another one. Yours is spectacular!
