[Resolved] Unknown bi-valve on torch *Close up added*

I think it looks like a bivalve too.....can you take it off? It definitely doesn't look like another branch.....

 

It does look like a bivalve of some sort, oyster type.

Change the title and see if pagojoe will know the ID.

 

Sorry, no idea here, bump a friendly bump it up for ya.

I do hope the mystery gets solved soon.

That torch looks great. OUt of my 56 species of coral, a torch is currently not one of them.
I definitely want one however, they look really nice.

 

I agree on a type of bivalve. FWIW I have had one of a piece of rock for over 3 years so I doubt it is the cause of your issues.

 

It was a bi-valve of some kind.

Woke up this morning and the head above the bi-valve had no tentacles left. I decided to remove the coral because the other head was looking worse. It definitely smelled septic.

I popped the bi-valve and it was just attached to the skeleton. I don't think it was the cause. No idea what happened to the torch. Guess it just didn't like my tank.

 

Well if something was growing out of your skeleton, would you be happy? Sorry to hear about the coral. Is there a QT in it's future?

 

Your critter is an oyster of some type, similar to a thorny oyster. It really shouldn't hurt your coral. You can just wiggle it and pull it off if you don't like it.
