Coral ID

I got this Soft Green Coral leather and it looks like an Acropora has been growing off of it. The pic is not great. It has little green polyps and the base is kinds orange/brown. The third pic might be the best one. I am talking about the next to the red zoos. It looks like nexzt to this SPS is Tunicates?

 

The coral is definintely some type of acropora but I'm not sure what the stuff next to it is.

 

Do you think it is Tunicates?

 

I don't even want to guess because the picture is too dark for me to see it very well.

 

Yeah, that is definitely an acropora, of some sort. Give it time to grow and we might be able to narrow it down later.

 

Looks like a sponge or a tunicate to be honest, one way to check is to pinch it slightly (wearing latex/nitrile gloves) if it disintergrates it is probably a sponge if it just squeezes together then it is a tunicate. Sponge cells when squished tend to break up and the broken cells will form new sponges elsewhere. The reason for wearing gloves is because if it is a sponge, it will contain spicules which can cause skin irritation.
