Hi Darren,
At first glance, it looks like a Rock Anemone (Epicystis crucifer).
They tend to stay put and don't require alot of light.

[lReef lKeeper]

i also agree.

Hi Cichlid65 to TR

[Bluemax4]

The red stuff looks like red slime.

[Larry Copperband]

I'm sure it's a cool lookin' Macro algae. ( the"red stuff").Desirable & Beneficial.

[Bluemax4]

i don't know about that becouse it destroyed my yellow polys? i might be wrong.

[wwest]

The red stuff killed your yellow polyps?

[Larry Copperband]

I found out that yellow polyps aren't as easy to keep as first thought.
Just like sun polyps,you must feed each individual of the colony.

[Bluemax4]

yes. it grew over them and didn't let them get light or some thing. Any way i lost 2/3 of all the polys.

[Bluemax4]

once i got ride of the red slime the population started to go back up.

[wwest]

Oh ok i thought you were talking about the macro algae in the picture above. You are right, red slime will over take a colony of polyps and kill them in no time.

im thinking the anemone is a Phymanthus sp.. like this Phymanthus pulcher - www.meerwasser-lexikon.de

[Larry Copperband]

Looks like you may have hit the nail on the head,Tony.
And that meerwasser website is awesome!

Larry.
