What Are These Please?

2 lil round things here..

And the orange stuff, and the strange looking thing growing out from just underneath it, it appears to close up yowards the end of the evening into a tiny spikey looking blob, then opens up like in the pic during the day..

And is this green clump infront of the polyps, chaeto?

Button polyps, sponge of some kind and algae.

Thanks! Any of them that I should be removing!?

 

[lewiss]

Nope, all good!! button polyps are a coral! sponge is similar to coral - removes nitrates sometimes!! Algae is good in some respects, it eats bad stuff in you water. It can over run but should be fine!



Lovely rock by the way and some good free-bies on it!!

Hmmm I missed the other thing, the thing with tentacles... Has it got a calcium skeleton that you can see?

 

[heavenly_d3vi1]

which thing with tentacles.. the green stuff that I guessed at being chaeto? If so, no.. its just like a lil clump of quite bright green wire looking stuff!

 

[sorgan]

Nope the thing that's under the orange sponge.

 

[heavenly_d3vi1]

oh that thing! Theres no skeleton that I can see.
