 Topic: Tiny yellow growth
Posted: February 12 2015 at 3:55pm |
Hello! Does anyone know what this little guy is? It is growing on one of our rocks, and it's bright yellow and super tiny. (Those are the radioles of some very small feather dusters in the foreground, to give you a sense of size.)

+1 I'm envious of all the cool little things you are finding on that LR.

It looks cool! I have similar looking tubulars in mine, but they're white and not as cool.

The downside to it is that we had a decorator crab who snipped a little piece of it and glued it to his head, and it grew and grew and seems to have eventually killed him. (Side note: Our new decorator crab has stuck a bunch of coral polyps to himself—is this normal?)
Thanks, everyone, for your feedback! We love finding all this new life popping up in our aquarium, and my fiance is pretty good at using Google to identify most uninvited (but welcome) strangers--but occasionally we find little guys like this one that we just can't pin down.
