    Ok so I have had this coral for quite a while now...never really got a bunch of info on it which is unusual for me and it has been doing great in my nano tank. When I got it only 2 very small pieces of the rock were covered and now it is completely covered and moving onto different live rock as it seems it grows pretty fast. The picture is posted below and if anyone can post the actual name that would be great along w/ any info if possible;D

    they grow really quick, personally i like the look, some people put them on a rock that doesn't come in contact with any other rocks that way it stays contained

    i like the look of them to and dont mind if they spread cause I have plenty of places to put them. I thought they were green stay polyps but the way they look up close compared to pictures has made me this other wise sometimes

    depending on the lighting they grow under they can be anywhere from brown to bright green.

    They are cool, but I would keep it somewhere where it wont spread to all your other rock work. It can take over pretty quick, and it also spreads in the direct of current flow..

    ive got mine growin up my overflow . looks pretty cool imo. easy to keep in check if they get out of hand. either just peel off the mat , or i found direct flow from a ph can stop the growth.
