    They hitch hiked in on the rock at the base of this pagoda skeleton, which will soon be my new clam's couch. ;D

    Reckon clavularia it is! The first thing I thought when I saw it was "tiny clove polyps" ... guess I was actually right for once.;D

    My tank is covered in them. They are great because they add color and don't bother anything. Whenever a coral starts to cover them up, they just bail off and continue spreading somewhere else. If you put them somewhere with laminar flow, they will spread fast!
