What is it? (Odd Blob (no not me) next to a new TWA anemone)
Robert, Thanks for the info. on the neon wrasse and other info on all
your other articles. Though I've read through most of your recent
writings on anemones I've come across something you will have to
help me with . Recently after purchasing a "Haitian Anemone"
(white with pink tips on a orange stalk), <Oh, have recently redone
the "Anemones of the Caribbean" section: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/twaanemones.htm>
placing into my year old reef tank on cured and developing live rock, I
noticed a clear ball 1" in diameter lying next to the base of my
new arrival. The currents in the tank caused it to travel down to the
floor of the tank where it has been for a month or so now. All chemical
readings are where they should be and the livestock and other
invertebrates are not messing with it. What is it? And what should I do
with it? Thanks again for the info in advance. <I do like these
sorts of mysteries... this ball might be a "waste product"
from the anemone itself (they make these sorts of things and eject them
from their mouth/anus periodically)... might be a colonial algae that
is bleached out/dead... could be a sponge remnant... At any length,
though I do not know what this is, I would gingerly net or siphon it
out and toss it... just to be sure and avoid pollution. Bob Fenner>
