    Default corals in holding tubs

    Since breaking my old tank down Fri,I've keeping some of my LR and a Turbnaria sp. coral in a rubbermaid tub whil the new 75 does its thing.I decided to take a pic and was surprised how big some of the polyps that were growing next to them had gotten.I never really got to see them when they were in my tank due to there location.I'm not a soft coral guy so i'm not sure what kind they are.I had always suspected them to be aposymbiotic(dont need light).Well,the tub is not lit and they seem to be doing pretty good.I know there are alot of zoa/polyp guys/gals out here so let me know what you think they might be.
    BTW,they were hitchikers on Fiji LR.

    David your 'hitchhikers' look to be of the palythoa sp. The pagoda cup doesn't appear to be too upset about its' temporary home.
