    This has been in my tank for awhile. I'm not sure what it is, but it seems like it may be encrusting. It's a lot of tiny little green buds. Thanks for any help,

    Looks like green/brown button polops to me.

    I think Donny nailed it. It looks just like this but nothing like my other spongodes:

    Thanks, buddy.

    I am not saying it's not a sponges but the growth pattern and polop size makes me think is something else.
    Do happen to have a straight up daylight shot or just blue?

    I'll turn up the lights, and try to get a more "daylight" pic.

    Yeah. It's hard to get pics. I run my daylights pretty white but I take a pic and it looks like an all actinic shot.

    I stick with what I said yesterday. Looks like palys to me.

    Its to small to be palys unless that is a gigantic rock

    Could be. But it's not sps. It's hard to tell though.

    Sps generally encrusts before branching...

    Close the polyps on it then take a pic

    With the bare patches in middle of coral I don't think it's monti. But never know.
    Hey donny what's the name of those one paly/zoa type peice. Has long lashes, smaller than palys, usually yellowish oral disk? Zoanthus or something like that maybe?????
