Ok so four months ago I added LR from FL to the new 65 gal.....

It came with many hitchhikers.... including what I believe are just random "tube corals" At first I thought it was just random bit of dead coral, but as it wasnt totally white white It got added to the top of the rock piles. It's close to a red sponge I was saving/saved so got daily spot feedings...

Photo month after adding it. It was alive! yaaa... (no UV lights at this point, just t5's so idk if the green always was or if thats new/impoved)

Doubled in size...darkened in color but still brown.

So I guess my Q is I'd assume there are just naturally brown corals in the wild and plenty of bland ones.....but also know brown corals is a bad sign. I dont have a lot of experance with stony corals so thought I'd ask.
What do you think? Perfectly healthy? or can I do better with these??
 
Looks like what i had on my live rocks years ago. It was a surprise when i saw them. My tank was so new. They never colored up just grew. They eventually died off. It may be because they were low light or low flow or something else. But they are interesting to me thought they looked like blanos.
 
whatever it is, its pretty awesome looking!
