Unknown Coral hitch hiker

[Brendan6]

Hi guys, I have noticed these guys in my tank right from when I bought the live rock. They have grown and multiplied during the year. It has a skeleton, hats why I think it's an LPS. It retracts its tentacles if something gets close. It's like a zoanthid with a skeleton.

What do you guys think it is?

Can't make out from those pics there is too much blue is the live rock local?
Perhaps some type of barnacle?

 

[Brendan6]

Live rock is Fiji. I will take pics tomorrow with normal lights on. Not a barnacle at all, more like a shelled zoanthid

 

[CheriS]

Jewel anemone perhaps?

 

[Brendan6]

It looks like a Nennie but it has a rock solid skeleton as its base.

Just had a look at these photos on the PC, very blue. Will try again tomorrow

Here we go again, pictures of the randoms with full lighting.

Can't tell from pics. But maybe majano anemone?

 

[Mantra Ray]

Paracyathus stearnsi
(Brown Cup Coral)

or something similar of the sort???

Same family maybe

 

[Zuna]

majano anemone perhaps

Thanks manta Ray, that's more like it, it cannot be a nenny because of the Stoney base. These corals look awesome.

Majano is a nenny

as far as i know majano doesnt have a hard skeleton type base so either cup or plate coral or something

They have grown and multiplied during the year. It has a skeleton,

but yeah majano does multiply like that..

 

[Brendan6]

I hope it's cup coral.

 

[Mantra Ray]

From what you described it sounds alot like a cup coral.
Awesome hitchhiker for a change.

Congrats and enjoy.

some sort of stony coral - Marine Aquariums South Africa

Hi people, I have some better pictures of the corals.

 

[KyleJ]

Whatever they are they pretty cool

They look like torch corals or some Euphelia sp. They are not Manjanos if they have skeletons. Majono's have bulbous tips to their tentacles.
