    Is this a "mushroom" I bought it at LFS for 15.00 as a frag, the rock it was attached to had another baby one also which has since detached and found a new home in the display...this one seems to still be "attached" - its brownish in color and about 4" wide.



    Thanks
    Tom

    It gets bigger and bigger, starting to see some red come into it around the edges, its probably 5 inches open now, the smaller baby one that was on the rock it was on found a spot in the corner and its about 2 inches... pretty cool find.

    Thanks again
    Tom
