Algae?

5 posts
  1. Can't figure this one out. Closest I've seen is a Segmented or Thicket Algae. This is from Grand Cayman Island.

  2. This is a type of gorgonie.
    Not looking good, as the white tips are skelet where the coral is going back...
    No polyps outside, but algae on the surface...
    A basket star is looking very different....

  3. Hi,
    you are wellcome.
    We grow different species from the indo pacific in our tanks and breed frags.
    So i know how theyshould look ;-))
    Sorry for no id, as its a caribean species, thats not my spezific area.
    And we once got a very small basket star as a blind passenger, or better we bought the gorgonie because of him ;-))
    He was living for some months with us, but had been starving during transport and before selling, so was only recovering a bit even with lots of food ;-((
    Regards,
    Wolfgang
