Yet another ID please thread

[Mishap]

I was inspecting my tank today and noticed this growing across the rocks. It started growing from one of the frags I added. It's pretty hard and won't flake off easily.


Sorry for the blurry pics. It's the red/blue stuff.

And here's one with flash.

Thanks,

Matt

Looks pavonaish.

Looks like a mushroom to me...kinda rhodactis, but different. I assume it is soft to the touch? No skeleton?

I'm thinking Hydnophora??

I'm pretty sure you are looking at an SPS coral called a Pavona.

After seeing Melev's pic, it is definately a pavona.

Thanks guys!

Mishap: Don't jump to conclusions yet. For proper identification I will need a frag shipped to my "lab." :lmao:

That's a nice pavona.
