Nice Suprise

[CAMAKAZY]

Always had a few little things growing here and there. But thought they where mostly pests. After Michael told me about yuma just growing out of his rocks I decided to find out what these lil guys are.

Some suggestions have been cup coral, dendro,Phyllangia, or balanophyllia. What do you guys think?

I had a few of those growing from my rocks however my chocolate chip starfish wiped them out. I have no idea what they are and am interested to find out.

I have several of those. They haven't spread, but have grown a bit. Seem harmless enough.

They're harmless! I forgot what they were called. Maybe someone would chime in on this. I did my research on it years ago when I found it in my tank.

Also, I remembered they like to be in a darker area of the tank and they like to come out during lights out.

I got it on my TBS rock as well... recently found a Black Urchin that came out of the rock so that was cool...
