    Just noticed this little guy on my chalice frag that I got about a month ago. Its about the size a zoa, and has definately been growing. Originally I thought it was some coralline..........but coralline doesnt have a mouth or inflate. At first, i thought mushroom, but i dont know cause the colors are kinda cool.
