    Hi all,

    I was wondering if you can help me identify these hitchhikers. I think they are both some kind of stony coral, possibly hidden cup coral. What do you think?

    The one looks like some sort of snail. The bottom one is hard to tell.

    Welcome to 3reef.

    Hard to tell in the photo. You may be right about hidden cup coral.

    Neither of them move. I looked with a light about an hour after lights out and didn't see any tentacles. They both have a stony base.

    I'll see if I can get a better pic. Maybe once they get bigger it will be easier to tell.

    Thanks!
