Not sure what this is...

[Vague]

This came on one of my live rocks I traded for it was in the dark for who knows how long but in the water... Anybody know what it is? It looks pretty trashed.

Looks like a destroyed mushroom or leather.

Destroyed for sure... I'm wondering if it will pull out of it or if I should trash him.

For sure won't pull out. Looks dead already.

Looks like a cabbage from what I can find

A cabbage is a type of leather

Yeah I know i was just looking for the specific type of leather and that's what it seems to look the closest to.

I don't mind it if it can pull out of it but do you think it will or does it look too far gone?

 

[Dragon.goby]

I would say it's gone. It's dead already so that means it not coming back.

That was a piece of it that was kindof hanging on so I cut it off an put it in a hole to see if it would take off from there.

How should I take off the rock? I think I've read that you can't leave it in there if it's dead correct? (I'm a newbie)

If there is any live flesh on a coral, it can recover. I would not remove any coral from the tank unless it has no flesh on it what so ever,.

Ok sooo one more question from the voice of inexperience lol .. How do I know if it still has flesh on it?

 

[mr_X]

Any color, even brown. I can't even identify the coral in the first picture, but you can clearly see color to the left. The right area appears to be white skeleton, not indicative of a leather. I think this may be a chalice of some sort (LPS). If you didn't already kill it, I would wait and see what it becomes.

Ok thanks for your help

How about this guy? Another one that came in on the rock

I picked this rock because it had a nice neon green mushroom on it... But I don't know what this is
