    ok so today while the gf & i were at the LFS we decided to pick up some live rock for her 20 gallon tank and once we got one of the rocks in the tank we noticed a growth on it and what I believe to be a green mushroom:confused: Just thought I would make a quick post w/ a link from live aquaria to what I think it is and I'll throw in a few pics as well:) (sorry if the pix are a lil blurry)
