Three different things?

[Spartachris]

This came on an order from ipsf. It was advertised as an anthelia polyp, but it looks like I have there different things on this. Should I separate them, amd what are they?

Thanks!

The tree things are Aptasia bad things and the other polyp things look like Button corals or Zoas

 

[Spartachris]

I could be wrong, but I don't think they are aiptasia. All the pictures I've seen show them with smooth tentacles, but these are "hairy."

Anthelia and xenia looks a lot alike when it is that small. I am thinking it is xenia and if it is anything like mine in 9 months it will be the size of a baseball or larger. And it looks like you have some zoas at the base of it.

Ya i see polyps and a mushroom i think no aptasia

 

[joy13]

I missed the mushroom

 

[Spartachris]

Mushroom! Thanks. Next question: should I separate them or let them grow for a while and see what happens? Thanks so much!

Hahah im so sorry about the Aptasia im so dumb and suck at saltwater lol

 

[thincat]

They look really small. I would just let them grow out and see what happens.

Leave them alone but keep an eye on the anthelia. I set mine against the back of the tank so it would grow and spread on that instead of the rocks and it will be easy to scrape off.

Yeah and I'm pretty sure with things like that, if they don't like it they will move

Thanks all. I'll just wait and peace them alone for a while. One thing this hobby has taught me is patience and let things take their own sweet time.

Nice catch though i never get anything extra with my frags

 

[Spartachris]

I got it from ipsf.com, and it was actually the first frag I've ever gotten, so I must have lucked out!

Leave them alone.xenia and the zoa will be fine. But under good conditions the zoa will spread fast and could overgrow the xenia but than again I could say the same thing about the xenia!!!!! Good luckand have fun with it!! I have a similar piece!

Watch out! That Kenya tree will grow like crazy! I have a large one in my tank and it's been in there for about a month, I already have three frags growing in my tank and like 5 getting ready to split from the tree!!

 

[JASONinNM]

Really? I thought it was a colt... ??? I have another that's over noticed good growth already since iv had it.

 

[XxVooDooxX]

Yeah it's a Kenya tree and with good water they do grow great but they will take over if not watched

Here's mine!
