Its the greens sps in the middle of the pic. It has doubled in size since I bought it about 4 months ago. It only extends sweepers at night. And only when the moonlights go out. Thanks in advance for your help.

It looks like some type of Hydnophora. I'm not certain though.

Klepto is correct definitly a hynopora ... Great looking piece!!!:fish2:

TY for the replies. I started researching it after your responses and all the pics of hydnophora I can find all show some sort of fuzziness or tenticles. This thing looks like this all the time. When the lights go out and I shine a flashlight on it, it looks puffy (like its thikness swells up to double) and has some short sweepers (apx. 1/2") the sweepers are very translucent and is hard to tell where they are coming from. I will try to catch a photo tonight.

Just wasn't sure if it was really hydnophora or something else. Here are a couple more pics to help:

Thanks, I couldnt say for sure because I am no expert but it looks mostly like Merulina than hydno to me. At least from all the research I can find anyways.
