A lfs tossed in a tiny frag a few months back when I made a purchase.  It has grown considerably since and I've been trying to figure out what it is. It was smaller than the size of a dime.  It looks like a small clump of purple "flowers".  Anybody have an idea what this is?

This is what it looks like today.  Hoping to frag it out at the next swap

Upon further research, it looks like what they refer to as blue snowflake polyps

They are prolific spreaders. They will be everywhere in a short amount of time.

That's what I've been reading. I'm looking at a way to isolate them and frag them also.
