Picked this up today hoping it is sympodium. The polyps are not out and were just barley out in the store but he was still acclimating. he got it from a a buyout of another store so he wasn’t sure. it is a spongey like mat so hoping I id’d it correctly. If it is blue clove I need to take it out so figured id check here to see if anyone could help id just from the mat. Time is of essence if it is blue clove……LOL 😳🫣. I can try to get a better picture if needed. I was using an orange filter .

***** Edited to add I think these are blue clove….see post below

Ok im leaning more towards blue clove polyps, but im just not 100% sure and id like to be. i took them out until i can get a definite id. They were only in my tank for about an hour, as they started to emerge I started questioning it, it’s not worth risking it. hopefully if they are blue clove they weren’t in there long enough to leave behind any of their satanic siblings or offspring….. Ugh I rarely ever buy something I’m not 100% sure what it is. Took some better pics after I took it out, hoping it helps with id
