So I have noticed this little neon green thing that came on a rock with one of my corals...anyone know what this might be? Tried to take the best pics I could. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Oh and I think I noticed a little hole in the middle so maybe a mouth?

No problem, im assuming the other coral you got there is a xenia or anthelia? if so id suggest trying to maybe cut or chisel the blasto off so that its not irritated by the other coral. Looking at that rock it should not be hard at all to take a chisel or small flat head screw driver and break the rock off behind it. Let us know it goes.

I am a newbie so not very knowledgeable.
You can take it out of water with no problem, when im cutting up zoas ive had them out of the water for close to 15 min before lol. If you ever need any help feel free to ask, if I cant help one of the other Reefsquad members might be able to.
