• Help identify - arrived on a broken living stone.

Good afternoon everyone! About six months ago, a piece of J.K. (live rocks) arrived, and now it looks like this - the polyps glow in the moonlight with a bottle-green color. Please let me know what this is and what it might grow into.

Laurie

It looks like a goniopora, but it's a very small photo, try to compare it yourself...

Joseph

Thank you, It doesn't seem to be her. The small photo is actual size (1.5*2.5 cm stone) - Clicking on it opens an enlarged photo in a new window. The polyps are brownish and transparent, 2 mm tall. They can completely hide in their "skin." The mouths and tentacles of the polyps glow green.

Patricia

Alveopora, it seems. Moreover, it is severely depleted. It can glow in various ways, with many color variations. Take a look.

Amy

count the number of tentacles near the mouth opening of the polyp if 12 - Alveopora sp., 24 - Goniopora it's hard to count in the photo it could also be Turbinaria, judging by "some kind of crust arrived" (c), the latter is more likely, though the legs are a bit long for it

Katie

Search the web for: Alveopora fenestrata Alveopora minuta

Adrienne

Thank you for the hints. Alveopora minuta is more similar. I just couldn't assume it right away. The polyps are small, like those of Seriatopora, that's what I thought at first (it came to mind). It will be interesting to observe the growth, etc. If there is any progress, I will post a photo.

Michael

I managed to count the tentacles around the mouths - 12.

Catherine

I have exactly the same one as in your photo.

Katie

Here's another one! A couple of weeks after buying the J.K. (live stones) in the sump, a little creature crawled out onto the glass, probably an asterina? I transferred it to the aquarium. During the day, it stands on its leg. If anyone knows, please let me know.
