Reefing newb
Hey, people. This is my first post here. I've been looking to join a forum but it was hard to decide on which one. So I ended up here because of the hitchhiker forum.
Anyway, here's the deal. I have a 55-gallon that's a FOWLR for now though I'm trying to keep things reef-safe for when I do start getting some coral. For now I'm just trying to get some coralline going on my rocks. The tank's only been set up for about 2 months.
I've had a couple cool hitchhikers pop up in the last few weeks, though. First was a blue-grayish coloration on some rock that now I'm pretty sure is a sponge of some sort. Secondly is a little nodule that I first noticed about 5-6 weeks ago. It first looked like just a bump of purple coralline that's all over the rock to begin with. But it kept stretching out and within the last 10 days it has opened up and its now green on the inside and has started developing tentacles.
Here's a pic with both in one shot. It's not zoomed in enough, but it's not easy photographing underwater stuff with a mediocre camera.
From what I found on Google I'm thinking its a green button polyp. But let me know what you guys/gals think.
