Unknown sps

[jmowbray]

So for a while I have had an unknown sps growing all over my rocks. I'm in sure if what it is though based on color my guess it's this guy who must have sexually propagated shortly after I put them in this tank.



Here's the small colonies. They are now starting to branch



Any ideas?

Birdsnest?

Pocillapora. I may have spelled that wrong.

Looks like a Rainbow Poccilapora to me. They will spawn and mini colonies will grow all over.

That is the main colony. +10 points for you. So this is a common thing? I can see this maybe becoming a problem but for now let everything fill in I guess.

Maybe I should ask this: If I leave them and they grow up will they sting and kill other SPS around them?

Yeah they will sting other corals

 

[Masedaddy]

Just put Kalk paste on the babies as they pop up and that will usually kill them
