What is it?

I won this guy in Michigan. Is it Duncan?

Duncan

Great

I agree that it looks most like a duncan, but possibly a blasto too though the base looks to be branching which would lead me back to a duncan.

definitely looks like a duncan. always wanted one, just never got to it.

I wonder what ever happened to my duncan colony, I would love a duncan again too. Nick pick up!

That's a Walking dendro.

Not a Duncan. Jeni is right. That's a walking dendro. Symbiotic relationship with a worm that moves him around

Interesting coral, never owned one. Are they like anemones in the sense that they will sting other corals that they walk near?

 

[nvdiz]

Oh woops, that's awesome!

 

[Pufferpunk]

I believe them to be related to the Rhizos. Mine was definitely a stinger.

 

[maidia]

Wow never has it..cool name.

 

[superchargedgp]

ok i dont want it now. i dont need this to walk all over my tank

 

[sk8elenex92]

Cool little guy.. Supercharge I believe someone was looking for a walking Dendro in the WTB section..

 

[Rich130981]

Mine walks next to zoas, montis and rics. I have not noticed any warfare. I have heard that they can sting. Guessing each is different, or maybe it matters what coral they come near.

How far does it travel? I wonder if you could remove the worm, so it stays put?

thats what i was thinking maybe glue or epoxy the hole?

 

[Rich130981]

Few inches a night sometimes 4'. Usually stays in the same 9x9 area but sometimes he goes end to end.

 

[Pufferpunk]

Wow! It never gets lost?

LOL, every morning would be like, "Find the dendro!"

 

[Rich130981]

Its always in my sand bed in the light. Never does it go into or behind rock work.
