Hitchhike SPS, Help Identify

Hitchhiker SPS, Help Identify

Hello guys,

This thing just popped up like a year ago ... and has been growing ever since ... its finally at a point where I can get a half decent shot of it.

It is attached to a piece of LR, and is really far from the glass, but I never wanted to move it.

Pics are blurry, but you'll get the idea.

Polyps are pink and blue, extended like a koosh ball all day. Skeleton looks like birdsnest ... but it has been growing width wise instead of height wise. Branches haven't been getting longer, I've just been getting more branches.





Any help is appreciated.

 

between the blasto and the acro ... sorry folks lol

 

whatever its is , its cool. nice colors and looks like a score for you. some sort of lps?

 

I don't know if its LPS or SPS. Its got a hard branching skeleton ... and the polyps are hairlike ... and fairly long.

I haven't been able to find it on any website, searching either LPS or SPS ... I was hoping someone here might just know what it was.

Its getting big enough that I'm considering fragging it ... just so that I can put a branch under a macro lens lol

 

Pocillipora, good score.

 

great looking pocillopora. I have one just like it.

 

Pretty cool hitch hiker

 

Definitely pocillipora as mentioned. You got it for free... I paid for mine

 

Yup it just showed up one day. It was tiny

 

from what I've read ... they can let their hair like polyps go ... to start a new colony somewhere else.

Maybe the guy I bought my LR from had a colony in his tank ... and I just got a hair ... thats how tiny it was when it sprouted anyway.
