   |  Coral ID & ???
Is this a mushroom leather, and if so I thought they didn't have sweeper tentacles??? _________ Your #1 Source for Fauna Marin, GHL/Profilux, ZEOvit & Hagen Products!

They're not considerred sweeper tentacles, just long polyps.

The polyp, it look like a this piece of fishing line that it expands and retracts. My other leather doesn't do this... | |

Hmmm, I didn't know leathers could do that! Those sweepers look just like the ones open brain corals have.
Upon further review of the play I've decided that maybe my open brain wasn't the source of those sweepers at all! Maybe it had Comb Jelly issue of it's own and I didn't know it? That particular coral ended up dying.
