Unresolved New coral in my tank?

Maybe a ball anemone?

 

Looks like a Dendrophyllia aka Cup coral.

 

Agreed. Hidden Cup

 

Sweet find!

 

You have just been answering all of my questions recently...thanks.

Do you think that they will get color? Right now they are see thru. I'm not sure if you can tell from the video that they have small white balls on the ends of the arms.

 

The skeleton is what makes the ID for me. A stony coral that is non photosynthetic (NPS) had I not seen the skeleton I might have gone with ball tip anemone. Being that it's a NPS, supplemental feeding of meaty sea food such as mysids will be appropriate. Consider it to be similar to the same care as a Sun Coral. Some Dendro's do have a similar appearance as a ball tip anemone. There are many different types, I would give it supplemental target feedings for a few weeks and see if it colors up, it may not, but a cool coral non the less.

 

cool! news to me.

 

Ok let Cheryl's dyslexic mind rephrase that, Dendro's are stony corals, anemones are not.

 

Haha. I need a good way to spot feed in my 90 now.
