Could this be a baby euphyllia?

[MichaelB]

I've been noticing the last few months green specs floating through the water that apeared to look like the tips of hammer corals. All euphyllia looks wonderful. Never gave it any second thought as they all looked great.

I mostly have hammers.
2 torches a green and a dragon soul.
1 frog spawn green purple.

Just wondering I noticed this on my rock structure in a area of lower flow towards top of tank. Not the best pictures but I could clearly see what looked like tenticals before I thought to take these pictures. It’s like half the size of a pencil eraser.

The only green Lsp/ softie in this tank is hammer, torch, neon toadstool, and duncans.

Any thoughts as to what it could be?

I can’t really tell from the pics but does it look like this in person?

It looked like a very tiny one possibly of course by the time I thought hey let me get a picture it closed as lights began dimming routine. Ill try to get picture tomorrow if it's still there. I did see what appeared to be tenticals moving about.

The pic I attached is a green majano anemone. I don’t think your LPS would just spread to a different part of the tank like that

Shoot I hope not. I've never seen one since I had the tank, it was all green from what I could tell.

I’m sure with better pics tomorrow someone will be able to ID. That was just my first thought when I read green, tentacles, and popped up out of no where.

The most obvious reason that you’d see a hammer coral polyp tip floating around is that it became detached after stinging another coral.

What you are seeing may be a baby spawn, but we can’t tell for sure from that picture. Just give it time.

@NanoCrazed had a bunch of torch babies once. They kinda looked like that. If you search through his threads you could find it.

We need better pictures! Turn on whites and take a picture. Would be quite cool if they were babies

It disapeared over night. I'll see if I see it later on when all the lights channels are on. No signs of it at all now.

I’ve seen small pieces of the tentacles get ripped or chopped off before and float around. Could be that too. Or a small head bailout.

Here it is.

Tank spawned torch babies

Thought be fun to start a thread to track development of torch babies that resulted from a mini spawn in my tank from beginning of August. After battling some tank issues, i saw some white stringy material around the mouth of my holygrail. I wasn't sure at the time that it was a spawning event...

Thanks I was able to find it earlier from search feature. It really looked like the second picture but all green. I've been looking hard for it all day still no signs of it. So at this point i'm more leaning towards the fact it could have been anything lol.

I'll keep a ɛyɛ out in the future for any more in any case.
