    So, I got him long long time ago, bout the size of a dime, if that, He was just gray, I didn't know for sure what he was but moved him to my FOWLR tank. He's been there ever since, He is now about quarter-silver dollar sized! And got some color!

    Any Ideas?

    Funny you say that I got one very similar but dime sized. He was in my recent shipment from Live Aquaria with my Divers Den button polyps.

    So far I have not been able to find him again.
