What in Neptune's World?

Postby liquid » August 11th, 2005, 10:16 am

In this month's Advanced Aquarist's Online Magazine, we have a mystery critter seeking identification. Can you guess what it is?

alainul,

What happened this month? You weren't the first one to post a response to the "What in Neptune's World" question. :) Perhaps you were on holiday. :)

Not an easy one to identify any chance of a tissue sample to examine the sclerites under the scope???
From visual observation this coral comes under the family name of
Nephtheidae
without a tissue sample one is unable to positively identify this specimen
it could be either one of the following
Nephtheidae Dendronephthya
Nephtheidae Umbellulifera
