It's blurry, reminds me of a green carpet.

Trying to get a better one and will post in a moment. The person at the fish store didn't know what it was, got it for $28, it's around 3 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches. Will attempt picture in a moment. Thanks

It looks simular to something that we have and cant identify, but our is red and green. Now Billy would say it is an acan of course :lol: I really don't know

I was also thinking it was acan but was not sure. Thanks for the post. If anyone else knows what it might be, keep it going. Thanks

To me it looks like a Open Brain Trachyphyllia Geoffroyi with several mouths.

I think i will have to go with jahdiel on this one. can't really find anything else thats an exact match. Its not your everyday open brain if thats what it is.

I have to forward with Jahdiel and NM354 on this one also. It is definitely either a multiple-mouthed Trachyphyllia or similar mussid. I lean toward the latter, since the texture is not quite on par with Trachyphyllia.
