|  While killing the Bubble Algae - I noticed this. Coral?
Well this would be a lucky break. Update - New and improved Pictures
  Is this a Coral or just another Dreaded Parasite?

Well all of a sudden that $8.99 a pound live rock got a lot cheaper. 
I will have to step up my game if he is going to survive. I have not been keeping the tank under strict "Reef" parameters because I hadn't planned on introducing Corals for months.  | |

I don't even know what that means. 
I just noticed it last night. I have only had that rock about 10 days. | |

Polyps are to small to be tubanaria, looks more like an encrusting montipora or possibly leptastrea. _________ Got Questions? Need Answers?
