I've noticed these guys starting to spread around an old pavona skeleton. At first I thought they were a zoa that I'd long since thought had vanished in a crash, but they don't seem to have the same structure as that mature. None of them are larger than a zoa. Am I looking at a Rhodactis hitchhiker? Green ones in center of pic. Thanks for the help fam!

That IS pavona! That is exactly what it looked like in my tank. 1.5 years later its a thriving colony. A frtiend of mine gave me some live rock he left out for weeks that used to have pavona on it. This stuff staretd popping up on it. turns out it wasnt dead.
