 Are these good or bad? In addition to the clear looking creatures (in a separate thread) we spotted these fleshy colored objects - one is open and the other looks curled up somewhat... any hints on these, oh wise keepers of the reef?  Thanks very much! LL

| Re: Are these good or bad? Here is the other object. My wife (the photographer of the family) named it a coral, but I am clueless what these two objects are...shall I nourish, or get the Joe's Juice??? Thanks again. LL

| Re: Are these good or bad? those both look to me to be tiny corals. The first one looks like a single polyp. As it grows, it 'should' spread out into a colony. The second one looks smilar to a brain coral. neither of those appear to me to be aiptasia. Leave them alone for a while and see what happens. |

| Re: Are these good or bad? I would agree that they are not pests and may be things like zoo's or polyps of some form or fashion. I vote let them be and let them develop and see what they become. |

| Re: Are these good or bad? Did these come with the rock? They look like coral if its free coral thats not a bad deal at all.. |

Yup they came on the rock. I just happened to be setting up my tank on the day my LFS owners received an air shipment of "fresh" LR from Fiji. It literally went from the plane to our tank...looks like we had some survivors. Very interested to see what they grow up to be... LL

| Re: Are these good or bad? They are polyps. I got a few of them but I didnt like the dull color so I gave them to the LFS. Expect them to expand, |
