Any ideas?

Post by Jahdiel »

Ok here is my question, I am stumped. When Billy bought this rock (1st pic) he was told it is a hairy bullseye. I have searched for one on the net with no luck. But, I did find the second pic that classified it as a giant Zoa. Yesterday, one jumped to another rock :? Any ideas?

It might one of those mini anemones.... you can do a search on RC for more information. I remember reading about these before, but it's been awhile. Either way, it looks pretty cool.

zoos.

pretty too :D

you can tell by the double row of tentecles they have.

probally just a real nice matting variety.what do they look like clossed? Take a turkey baster and shooot then and snap a shot when they all close up.

I have never heard of giant zoos. they come in all sizes though.

I have heard of majano protopalyothoa but those are deffinately not them.

palyothoas only have one row of tentacles on them.

zoanthids have that tight double row.

Now that I have a few of these (4), I'd like to know if you experts ever decided what they are?
