Dan looking good. Are you still happy skimmer free? I’m considering limiting mine to lights out as I’m having nutrient deficiency issues. Love the old Tonga.

Thank you. Yes. I am very happy. Tank is too.

Quick swim before lights out.
So far happy with progress. Noticing a little more growth. Kinda hacked a little.
Few pieces with a little more white than I'd like, but they're coming around.

Hey guys, I posted a thread and nobody replied so I figured this would be a good place to ask. I bought an 8$ rock a few days ago and it had a sponge. I was excited because I want one in my refugium to filter more water. However when I got home I noticed what looks to be a baby coral. The guy in the shop said there is a very strong possibility that it could be because they had a coral spawning happen and their tank was flooded with coral eggs that hatched and they got mixed in with the frag rock. Thank you guys in advance for your help! I never intended to get a coral (yet) but it looks like I have one or more and the shop owner wont take it back and Im not gonna just get rid of them.

So my question is what kind of coral/s could this be? I was thinking kenya tree maybe. If the second thing isn't a coral what could it be?

Next question is, do you think this is a coral larva? They vary in size depending on the coral and could be up to the size of a rice grain. The fist pic is actual size zoom at x8. The second is in a drop on a microscope at x1000. It has a weird bulbousy back end that would become the first polyp if you watch a video of one becoming a polyp. Its also really squishy looking and doesnt move like a worm. It can swim unlike most worms.
