I bought a new coral a couple weeks ago, and this tiny little guy was on the same rock. Can anyone identify it? Looks like it might be a Rhodactis mushroom? It’s about 1/4 inch in diameter right now.

yellow mouth and mainly purple body make me think rainbow yuma or purple monster yuma/ ricordea. Mine look pretty much the same under blue led.
 
So far the only freebies I’ve gotten are aiptasia
Well if you count that as a freebie, me too! Thank goodness for berghia... it was bad. Really, really bad.
 
I think that’s my next step! It’s not terrible yet, but it’s not improving.
That's how I was and then out of no where, boom. Everywhere. I think it was because my nutrients were elevated.

That right there, is a coral. It will feed off light and grow into a larger coral, and then will split and turn into many corals. Great freebie. The purple yellow contrast will be great once it gets adjusted and a little larger

Awesome! Finally a hitchhiker that I can approve of! :)
