Rick Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 It almost looks like it is a rock with coraline growing on it. Can you see any actual polyps? What color is the base or skeleton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c24 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Looks like galaxia but hard to tell from the pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 The Galaxea I had had fairly defined round stalks 3/4" or so long with polyps at the ends. BTW, welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 My actual first thought was that it may be a Green Star Polyp (GSP) growing over a rock. If it's encrusted to the rock it could be mistaken as being part of it. Does the green almost look like grass with a purple base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate213 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Looks like some bubble algae on there as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help though. That's a better pic. Don't assume just because part turned white that it is dead. The one I had turned partially white from low light and then after I put it back under better lighting the white parts slowly came back to life.
