Can anybody identify this for me? ------------- No animals were harmed in this post, however a few billion electrons were slightly inconvenienced. |

Really? A Sundial? I'm not sure. I'm having trouble seeing it. Can it be removed from the rocks for a better pic or a pic from a different angle? ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

Picture makes positive ID hard but i thought it could be a sundial or perhaps a feather duster |

Yeah, if it's a Snail I'd trash that Sundial, but with so many other organisms in the ocean, if it's not a Snail, I'd keep watching to see what it does.

| FYI, sundial snails apparently eat zoas... In case you're wondering why mark told you to trash it. |
