Coraline

[vetteman]

So do you think this is some crazy coraline algae? It hard so it's not slime algae.... just started growing one day

I'm thinking it might be a sponge of some sort.

looks like you were caught eatting a hotdog over your tank while doing a water,with X-tra Ketchup and mustard

man you are so right........ not :hammer: it's been growing for about 6 months... you can see where the worms live in a hole in the middle

Sorry for the link to another site, but the guy had a pic on there that looked a lot like the one you posted.

I'd say it is some sort of encrusting coral?

interesting but this is growing on the rock rather that free forming...

maybe I'll scrape some off and attach it to a frag plug and see what happens

I say leave it. It's def. not coralline... but I had something weird growing in my tank and a few months later it became a plate coral. It's now the size of a dollar coin.

I had some stuff growing like that but it was red, I glued a piece of it to a rock and have since lost it, it didn't die I lost the rock in the rock work........it could be some type of coralline is there only on species of coralline?
