New Small pinkish hand shaped stoney coral id needed - Aquarium Advice

Florida8 · 03-14-2006, 10:18 PM

This isnt the best picture, but I didn;t want to move my rock to get closer, the zoom made it look worse, I will try again if an ID can;tbe made... but it's about the size of a pencil eraser, maybe a little wider, flat, and looks like a little webbed hand. hard to the touch and I THINK, not sure it has tiny sweepers... but too hard to tell ... although I will look again.

If anyone might know I would like to know how to care for it..

I have about 4.5 wpg 29g

I have a few actually that came on some LR.

TIA

I don't think it's a coral at all but a foraminiferan. They are harmless detrius consumers.

Thanks so much! Now I can stop pounding the keyboard looking to make sure it's in the right spot for light and flow etc... hahahaha!
