Heres the photos! If anyone knows what that green/yellow coral at the top is let me know!

I'm surprised the mantis hasn't killed and eaten the damsel. The "coral" at the top almost looks like a rock flower anemone that's not doing so well? But it's hard to say, and I don't know why it would be on a frag plug if it was a nem.

Oh its def not a nem. Im pretty sure its sps. And the mantis is well fed, and the damsel pretty much avoids him so they coexist quite well!
