Hitchhiker

Lasted almost an hour out of water. Reacts like a poly, pointed tips, heads like a zoo.

They nearly fill my tank in the mornings, then migrate to the rocks. THousands!

 

Think I found the coral. Duncans. Nice freebie

 

looks like a pest majano to me

 

I thought the same but it has three 'heads' and spreads across the rock like a zoo or paly.

 

Definitely isn't a Duncan.

Duncan have an exterior stony skeleton into which the polyp rectracts.

Looks like a majano to me as well.

 

crossing my fingers it isn't a majano. I have these two pics that seem to resemble this to a tee.

Duncan Coral

 

What you have are NOT Duncans. Duncans are an LPS (Large Polyp Stoney) Coral. When they retract into their skeleton, you would see the skeleton. Here's a test for you. Touch them with something. If they totally disappear into the rock, leaving no skeleton behind then you have your answer.

 

since they move around so much i would also say they are not duncans

 

being new I am so glad to have everyones input. They haven't moved like an anemone. Each 'head' connected to the base. One LFS told me it might be a poly. They react a little faster than my poly's but look nothing like the majanos I've seen. They are just a hitchhiker so no love lost but I don't want to kill an interesting potential coral.
