umm pics? description? something?

::edit:: Some sort of encrusting sps. Others will chime in, I'm sure...

Sorry pics giving me trouble, it is up now...

bump

That looks an aweful lot like an encrusting Goniopora that I got as a hitchhiker a while back. See if you can count the number of tentacles on one of the polyps. If it has 24, it's a Goniopora.

Porites are common HH, or maybe a monti of some sort.

leptastria (spelling might be messed up)

"What IS this" would be the grammatically correct way...

Doh!!! well it wers 2 at first...lol Wanna see me fall??? WHat am I doin haws?

I changed it on the fly. Sorry for the grammar error.

So is it a leptastria or whatever?


Nope I looked at those. Doesn't look like that. I will get a better pic tommorow.

Looks like Porites sp. to me.

There are actually multiple polyps, so "what are these" fits as well.

I vote for porites.

Wouldn't this be a colony of Porites though? So wouldn't that make What is this appropriate?

Definitely a porites

So I should probably break it off the rock and put it in more light then??

It's funny, it is a green zoa rock, and it came with that, a orange sponge, and a nice feather duster too.

You can see the feather duster top behind the "porites"

Here is the other pic of what is I think a sponge? Is it bad for my tank?

No, adds character.
