Aiptasia?

[parker313]

It doesn't look like pictures I've seen of aiptasia, but I figured I better check while they're still tiny rather than wait til they've taken over the whole tank

Its not an aiptasia (though ican see the resemblance) These two polyps have a purple encrusting foot.. starpolyps grow in this fashion so its possibly a species of these. They like good light however and are more colourful so im unsure exactly what it might be.

Try searching for this species

Pachyclavularia sp

Yeah, I noticed the purple foot in the picture - the picture is a lot larger than the actual polyp, it's maybe a quarter inch long.

Thanks, I'll go google that name and see what I can find...
