Default hitchhiker ID help

not sure what i'm seeing in my tank but it sounds kinda crazy i know. i'm seeing a small disk that almost looks like a paint chip with curled edges about the size of the end of a pencil eraser. didn't think too much of it before but last night i saw about a 3/4" long extension coming outta it blowing around in the current...

anyone have any idea what this might be??

Its hard to tell without a picture of it, but my guess is a mollusk of some type.

It looks like a red upside down mushroom. Got any red mushrooms in your tank that might have become dislodged?

fishface,

Not that I have actually done this, but I have read that putting the mushroom in a small container of rubble in a low flow area of the tank will allow the mushroom to attach to the rubble. Once it has attached, in a few days or a week or so, you can place it anywhere in your tank that is suitable.

Try browsing this thread, there is a site linked in it that may help you to discover other UFO's (unidentified floating objects) in your tank.
