So I have something very tiny growing. I can't get a good pic of it but it looks like it has "coral features", tiny brown specks/dots on it and "whiskers", not just a solid green blob. Could one of my corals spawned? I have birds nest and pocillopora

Horrid pic but I can't get better. I have no leathers. Thinking bird's nest or pocillipora. Too small for a paly or zoa or other LPS

If you want a better pick maybe take as orange tinted sunglass as you can and put that over your phone that helps me get better photos. Other than that I agree with Dragons reef.

If you have procillapora, it's very likely procillapora. They spread like crazy
I did not know this! I was given some in trade lol's. I already have like 5 or six of them as I was given a bunch of frags. Well, my tank will have thriving corals lol's

This is not necessarily a good thing. They can spawn continuously until you have these all over the tank.They can become invasive. This is not always the case so I would just keep an eye out for it. Unless you like a tank full of pocci. :)

Yeah, I'll watch for them. Glue over them if need be

Both Pocillopora and Seriatopora are brooders that release swimming baby coral (fully formed planulae) that have a high chance of survival in reef tanks. So it could be either one, although Pocillopora is the more likely.
