Id sponge?

[tampa_nick]

Anyone have an idea of what this is?

The spotted dark thing? Looks like a nudibranch to me of some sort. Nor really sure. It hasn't moved has it?

 

[paul87]

*or possibly a flat worm.

 

[tampa_nick]

Has not moved and there's 2 of them no antennas

 

[paul87]

Definitely interesting. Never seen a sponge that looked like that. It may be a coral of some sort that spawned? I dunno.

Almost looks like a ricordea. Never seen one that color but it looks to have a mouth in the middle.

If that is a ricordea I want it. Unique colors. Just keep an eye on it. Could be a rock anemone?

 

[Fishfrye]

I was thinking the same, wherever it is its friggin sweet.

Looks like it could be a small piece of monti left behind when the main colony was removed.

 

[czwicky]

I personally don't see anything monti-like there.. looks like a ricordea or maybe some type of lps like a blasto

 

[tampa_nick]

It's smooth there's no visible protruding polyps. Idk if that helps

 

[Fishfrye]

Cut it off and mail it to me overnight and I will umm research it.

From the pic it looks like the white perimeter is thw skeleton and the orange spots are polyps, hence the monti suggestion.
