I have a total of 4 of these in my tank, but have no idea what the correct name is.

Can anyone ID these please? I will link photos to my Webshots Page.

New 1/2" Acrylic pictures from aquatic photos on webshots

Thanks

Greg

Actually a corallimorph species. Google either corynactis or pseudocorynactis.

looks more like a galaxia to me, but hard to see in that picture, it's kinda hidden behind the rock.

Sorry everyone. I have been busy so I have not been on here for a while. Yes that is the photo I was talking about. I will post another angle at the bottom of this post. Thanks.

My Frogspawn is doing strange things!

Now I have these large and numerous bubbles on my Frogspawn. They are on several heads and are translucent.

The first three pictures are polyp division vesicles, the last either a corynactis or pseudocorynactis.

i have 5 or so of them in my tank, they are an interesting addition but there is a debate whether they are good or bad. I feed mine weekly...

Thanks! He is supposed to be friendly according to most people I have heard from, but he was biting the Fox Face quite often and you could see perfect tang mouth marks on the FF Rabbit Fish.

Suprised that no-one got the toxic treatment from the fins.
