Something New on LR... What is it?

[SuperWade2]

Just discovered this today on my LR... about 2+ weeks into Cycle....

It's pretty small, maybe 1/4 inch across....Not Great Pics, Macro isn't the best on this camera...

Recent posts have ID'd this as a type of button polyp.

That's what it appears to be.

Will it live thru my cycle, and do I need to do anything to it (feed, etc).

Most of the pics I see of button polyp are big bunches of them... Will this one multiply if I'm lucky?

I have a Coralife Lunar Aqualight that I have been running on about 1/2 Cycle - 1 Hr or Actinic, 4 Hrs of Actinic/10,000K, 1 Hr of Actinic...Will boost once my cycle is done. I'm getting some brown alge (as you can see from the pic, but it's not that bad yet).

I'd watch it. It may or may not make it through the cycle. Water changes will help but it will also drag out your cycle and not sure I'd bother for just one polyp. They don't need fed and if your tank conditions are good, it should eventually produce new polyps. Good luck with it.
