Just wanting to see how many other people find unexpected corals on frag plugs, live rock, shells, etc.... I know I have been lucky and found many freebies. I found a nice war coral on the side of a acro rock, also found what I am thinking is a monti on the side of a cabbage coral ( strange yea I know lol), and I also found a stylocoenilla on a yellow polyp rock. Ill post some pics as soon as I break out the camera today. In the meen time lets hear what you have found and maybe even some pics of these cool freebies.
 
One day I had a baby Acanthophyllia pop up on my live rock. Not one of those fancy high dollar ones, but a nice blue nonetheless! No idea if it was just hiding in my live rock for a couple years or came on a frag. What a score that was.

I got an aptasia:D when I first started to add corals. I thought is was a anemone until it grew, and grew, then I realized it had to go
