Oh no he kidnapped it

Yes that`s what i thought.

Nephthiids have non-retractile polyps right?

i ask because i recall reading something about this once before, it said the polyps cannot retract completely as in sinularia. Or is that just specific genera of them?

[AcanLord]

upon cursory viewing it looks like a dendronephthya of some kind. Is it? Its quite beautiful.

Wish I could do Marine Biology... would be so awesome haha this kinda stuff intrigues me to no end... It sucks how hard it is to get a job :( and Canada isn't too great for it :P it'd be extremely expensive to go to school in the US
