im hoping someone here has seen this thing before. it came with my green star polyps i purchased at J&L last month. i thought it may have been some funky kind of coral but it has since moved and grown.

Heres a pic of it at TRT where they cant seem to help either...

any help is apreciated

:question:

Baby Linkia?

Mitch

it only has 4 arms... do you think it could be a starfish, i didnt realize they could be mulit colored like that.

I guess some sort of starfish too. Maybe its concentrating all its energy into the fat leg at the moment :wink: It could very well have been damaged and thats why it has a lesser number of legs.

Yolk sack.... :smile: :question:
I wouldn't worry about the leg count...or the color. Could be a developmental thing.
(hopefully someone will properly id it)

First Doug's colonial tunicate, now this....

How about Linckia multiflora? I had one hitch a ride from Indonesia (Kanai?) but it didn't last long. :sad:
