    I put up a10 gal FOWLR tank for my Mom 17 months ago. I am the only one in the family who cleans or puts hands in the tank. Today I was at my Moms house and there are three, what seem to be sun corals growing. At first I thought anemones, but she doesn't run a light on the tank...well only when all the family is over like tonight. It's just amazing how I or no one else has put anything, rock or fish in the tank since I first put it up 17 months ago. And now there are sun corals growing!

    I think they could be cup corals.

    Thank you. I think you're right. I looked up cup coral and they look/fit the info.
