This has been growing on my live rock for quite some time. It looks like a fuzzy green ball with white spots.

No idea but it does look interesting...can you possibly get a better pic of it? Does it have a solid skeletal structure? Maybe provide a detailed verbal description if you can't get a better pic...very kewl looking hitchhiker!

To describe it, it is about the size of a quarter, round and you can see the green part move in the current. Almost looks like a long felt material. I can't tell if it has a skeleton or not as all you can see is the green with the white spots which do not move.

lol if anything its like a lps brain..does that exist?

 

[tangman99]

Here is a little larger picture. As I mentioned, the green part does move in the current, but is very short so its hard to distinguish individual parts.

Looks like a really healthy favia. Or a derivative of it. I concur on the genus though maybe yougotaluckycoralonyourdryshippedliverock.sp

Blastomussa wellsi looks like it ie pineapple coral. Are there mouth openings like a brain?

 

[bdhough]

as does montastrea. Try those species....

A little hard to tell from the pic but I second the Blastomussa wellsi theory!
