    100 percent sure that is not Sympodium. Although the polyps look alot like it. Sypodium grows much closer together and shares a base with its surrounding polyps. As you can see in the pic these are growing singly.Heres a pic of my Sympodium.

    Mine looks like that now, but when I got it I thought it was more spread out. My bad.

    definitely blue clove polyp, no doubt in my mind. when they are closed they are a very nice blue. when they are open they are a pleasant purple but they will carpet your tank in no time making your corals fight for room. i had a beautiful tank and added a small frag of this into it and it seemed the next day all my other coral was gone and i was left with a pile of blue fuzzy rock.
