I mean, don't many of the SPS we find most challenging to keep occur in the intertidal zone anyways? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've heard that these little pieces can grow into a new polyp, but I've never seen it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oooooh, that's lovely. I wonder if I could find a way to shield the intake on an AIO nano and make a RBTA standalone nano... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe the one you're referring to is a St. Thomas mushroom. They're my new fav. They're also an excellent example of the taxonomical challenges we run up against in this hobby. I've seen them referred to as both Discosoma sanctithomae and Rhodactis sanctithomae, and while I believe the consensus in the scientific community is that they're R. sanctithomae, both names are accepted; the Discosoma name seems more commonly used in our hobby; and there has been a long history of names used for it (http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=456765). Here's an article that may be

I wouldn't classify it as a Rhodactis as there appears to be no branching on the "bubbles" (which you can see even in the subtler bubbles on the superman rhodactis pic). Neither does their frequency or distribution appear to match Ricordea Yuma, and the variation in sizes across the striations/ridges further calls that ID into question for me. I have seen Discosoma sp. with bubble/tentacles as pronounced as these, but they may be misclassified. Sascha is totally right; the mushroom corallimorphs haven't been fully classified yet, and with their recent popularity I think collectors are bringing

Yeah, they're really cool! They used to be really uncommon, but they're showing up in our local LFSs recently too. This is where I first read about them, over s decade ago now (gotta love the internet): http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2003/2/inverts
