Encrusting SPS (last post for today, I promise!)

This is a coral I got on a piece of LR I thought was dead..

Turns out..

I still have no idea what it is, if someone could help that'd be great xD

 

looks like a type os shroom

 

I must know, where do you get your live rock from?

 

It's got a skeleton, so I'm thinking mushrooms are out.

 

It was in an unlit tank in my friends basement and he gave it to me to start up on. So it all came from an established tank at one point or another.

 

That makes sense now. Every live rock you put into your tank seems to have a coral on it.

 

Actually just 3... I got GSP, Those Zoo's, and this... encrusting cancer looking thing. One of the rocks actually has a serious Red bubble algae problem. But None of it is actually new, just recycled.

 

Possibly Pavona or Porities. The coloration is off.

Following.

 

Pavona is what I'm told, I just added (kind of ridiculous I know) a blue bulb to my T5's, so the color should change appropriately soon. I hope..

 

This is what the Zoo's started as

And then...
