What is this???

[koda_dad]

Hi all,

I was away on vacation and when I got back... these were growing in my tank??

Any ideas what they are?

Kinda looks like superman montipora. You didn't buy that?

 

[Hiker4twenty]

They look like some sort of encrusting SPS like a monti. Did you touch them yet to see if they're hard or soft?

Did you touch them yet to see if they're hard or soft?

More info is needed on this one.
But looks sharp.I like it whatever it is.

Those are cool looking. Do you have anything else in your tank that resembles it, or did it just pop out of nowhere? Just dont let it take over that little zoa population you have :P

I was thinking... how long was your vacation? I couldn't see sps popping up and getting that size in a week.

 

[koda_dad]

I was gone for 2 weeks.

I have been home now for a week.. So this change has happened in 3 weeks

Whatever they are, they look expensive. :mrgreen:

Someone just told they had red bubble algae that looked like that....

Thoughts?

 

[yote]

Thats not bubble algae.
I'm betting its some kind of Bryozoan
