Hi:

I've noticed these growing on my LR.

They are about 1/4 of an inch. The firs one I believe is some sort of soft coral. The secon is an annemmone and there are two of them. I need some I.D. specialy withy the annemone in case it is aiptasia.

thanks,
jc

Photos here look small but if you go to the gallery you can see them bigger. I have the second picture in my tank as well. According to Melev's ID page it is a Cup Coral.

See the second from bottom row dead center.

I would hope to hear others comment on this item. So the two of us know weather or not these should reamain in our tanks. From what I get from Melev they seem to be safe.

Now the pictures won't load. Did you take them down?
