This one should be an easy one. It came to me in a pile of LR rubble from LFS about 1 1/2 years ago, poor little thing was all shriveled and completely bleached. Now it has grown considerably and you can see a little up and to the left 3 or 4 babies. The pics dont really do it justice the fleshy part is nice purple with the contrasting green polyps. Also what is the line of blown up polyps?

Here's a pic with flash

Pretty much what I thought, how about the line of really expanded polyps? Thanks

Amazing some of the things that pop up even after a long period of time.
