That is what I though. Yes, I do have a small, free floating frag of it and I think there is also a small, orange zoa with them too. But I don't think you mean it is in that picture.

Those red stubby branching things are a soft coral that typically get no larger than that. I can't remember the name but I have seen them grow in our tanks for many years. One of our guest speakers confirmed it as well.
 
I'm fascinated with the color on the shells of what look like 2 bivalves (clams) in that pic.

Thanks.

Yes, I have watched them for activity and alas, they seem to be dead. Cry


I have another organism that I am currently watching. It is a round-topped red bump on a rock. Last night when I put some of my home made frozen food in the tank it protruded what looked like some stubby feeder like things. After a period of time it went back to its normal round-topped shape. Picture forth coming....

Decided to start another thread for this:
