Hitchhiker ID help (maybe coral?)

B33FST3W · 10/02/2011, 12:58 PM

I just added in some new live rock last week, and at first I noticed these little pink "hands" on it. I noticed 2 at first but have now seen 4 on this one rock. Today I noticed that one of them was extending out green tips from the "fingers".

I am attaching a pic of 3 of them, its a little blurry but its the best I have been able to get with my camera.

If anyone has seen these or can give me some sort of ID it would help me out a lot.

Thanks!

my guess would be Clavularia sp. but it's hard to tell from the pic

Thanks for the fast response. I'm not sure if that is it, as what I have doesn't have that feathery look to it. I can see if I can get a better pic of it tonight when I get home from work.

I had the same growing on one of my rocks. They spread rapidly but then eventually disappeared. They defenitely are some sort of polyps.
