Without a scientific name or a more specific common name or better yet, either name with a picture, it's difficult to determine what exactly it is that your are referring to.
As a new hobbyist it's easy to simply buy something and then come to the forums and ask questions. But, you must do better than that. You are responsible to educate yourself before making purchases. That's what being a responsible hobbyist is all about. If you were going to learn to fly an airplane, you couldn't/wouldn't just jump in one and take off. You'd
"crash and burn" for sure.
It's not a lot different being a hobbyist. As a hobbyist we are responsible for the life and death of our critters. Death comes all too easily for many of our charges because of poor husbandry, poor conditions at the
LFS or lack of understanding the needs of our critters. Too many of them
"crash and burn" because of ignorance. Educate yourself first, then provide the proper conditions before you go out and buy on impulse. You'll save a ton of money in the process. Look up the species in your reef library. You do own at least one good book, don't you?
If you think I'm coming across too critically, I'm sorry! In reality I'm just trying to make you become a better reefer. There isn't an endless supply of reef inhabitants for us to squander. It's our responsibility to police ourselves before some government agency steps in. I'll guarantee you won't like their policy!
That said, can you give us a picture?
