Freebie or Problem?

could it be a bleached frogspawn?

 

I don't think so each "tentacle" is uniform, no extra spots on them like a frogspawn, the more I look at it the more the ends are shaped like a hammer, but I also noticed today that it has a central mouth it looks like. Not sure if hammers have that or not.

 

Yes, I think that they do have a central mouth--my frogspawn does. It does look like a hammer.

 

It looks that the start of some kind of euphyllia!
I cant beleive it, do you transport your live rock in water? Im just shocked the lps managed to survive a trip out of the water!

Its amazing some of the hitch hikers we get. I only ever seem to get aiptasia majano and crabs. nothing good!

 

Its a baby hammer. Look at the shape of the tentacles. Ive seen those called "orange hammers", but they're brownish.

 

Thanks everyone for the help! This piece of live rock actually came from a stores LR rubble bin that just had a regular shop light on it. I transported the LR out of water 45 minutes to my house. I have no idea how it survived, but it was the size of a pencil eraser when I first got it. The same piece also has a hairy mushroom on it that survived the trip.

 

+1 on hammer

 

+2 on hammer the tentacles are a dead give away by the shapes on the end

 

Awesome thanks! I don't think that its an orange hammer though, the camera didn't do a very good job of capturing the color, but everyday it seems to get more and more green, not the tips are really green. I'm excited any idea how long these things take to grow up so that it actually looks like a decent sized coral (at least frag size)?

 

This is what they call an Orange Hammer...(Looks brown to me)
