Just filled my marine tank on Thursday. Going to let it cycle until it hits 0/0.
Noticed Friday morning that there were some small polyps on one of the very small pieces of live rock. By late Friday afternoon 6 of them had opened and 4 smaller ones were thinking about it. The lighting was just ambient from a window that gets very low west setting sun light.
Once the light went the polyps went back into their “tubes”. You can’t see from the picture but the center is yellow and the tentacles have a greenish tinge.
Question: What are they?
So far the responses have ranged from zoo’s, majano and clove polyps. Depending on what they really are is weather or not they stay.
I would hate to trash clove polyps, but certainly don’t want to keep majano.
The tank is only 48 hours into cycling so it might be a moot point anyway.
Any help with identification would be appreciated.
Thanks
Judi
