Need ID - Calling all reef ppl

S

sunfun

I just went to the LFS and bought a piece of LR. I specifically picked this one out because it had 2 hitchhikers. Unfortunately, I do not know what they are, but they look neat and my aquarium needs all the life it can get as inexpensively as possible. :lol:

#1 is a purple red color with green at the end of its polyps. I am guessing something in the zooanthid genus.

#2 is bluish white with almost fronds. It sucks back into a little pipe when startled. This one, I don't even have a guess on.

By the way, I wasn't sure if this is the correct forum to most this topic, but I knew it wasn't an anemone and the other corals forums seem more dedicated towards propogation.

One other thing, what do you call yourselves? Reef rats? Reefers? Aquarists?
 
In my opinion, #1 looks like some kind of mushroom. Not totally sure though. #2 is a feather duster. They are harmless.

Best of luck! (I've heard people say Reefers - mostly or Aquarists)

Don't worry it's not a majano. It looks nothing like a majano.

It's probably a fuzzy mushroom actually.

Are Ricordeas that small? #1 is only about the size of a quarter? the feather duster is about the size of a dime, maybe even a little smaller.
