    Just got a quick view of it again and it does look similar to the scutus. I'll get the camera ready when the lights go out tomorrow! Another one I will take a pic of is a lime green growth beside a mushroom the looks like a type of cactus without the spikes. Three round shapes that are stacked . About an Inch tall, 1/16 deep, quarter inch wide. picture it growing in the desert.
    Any ideas?

    Good job on the Halimeda! I couldn't find it anywhere !!! Thanks. Didn't notice a dot but could have had one. Been MIA even in the dark.
