id please

[durabane]

it has a lime green mat and small yellowish polyps the mat is slowly spreading over the rock

 

[durabane]

here is a larger pic of it on rock

looks like an encrusting sponge or something

 

[fmelindy]

Could conceivably be some type of porites encrusting coral - they often come as hitchikers. Anyone else?

 

[durabane]

but would they grow polyps and the mat looks like rubber cant get a good picture of it but it looks a lot like the purple mat on a green star polyp just lime green

Encrusting gorgonian perhaps....

 

[fmelindy]

hmmmm...
can't see the polyps very well...

 

[effloresce]

yes i cannot see the coralites, but as you say its growing "fast" then my guesse is an encrusting gorg, porties grow very slow, and also dont have the color faviation in polyps to skele, but the possiblity of it being an encrusting Montipora is also kinda likely, was that rock wild cultured, if so where from? or from the LFS
still sticking to encrusting gorg though.

rock was purchased at a LFS it has 8 mini feather dusters in it when it started it was a pinkish white and the polyps just looked like fuzzy pluses now that it is growing it has turned lime green with the polyps type growth from it
