    I thought it was just an extra bright green monti cap, but others are saying spongodes? Looks like plating growth that is why I figured cap. This is after 24 hours in tank, taken with iPhone. Have Radion's set to acclimate starting at 40%. Thanks!

    it's a green cap. Spongodes have brown polyps and smoother skeleton.

    I'm thinking it's a Cap as well. I have a few in my tank that look like that.
