Are you asking about the striped mushrooms on the rock or something else that I'm not noticing? It looks like a bumble bee snail behind the rock.

It's not mushrooms its an encrusting, like maybe some sort of brain.

Don't know what it is then, but it sounds cool. Good luck figuring it out.

Looks like possibly a favia to me. Definitely an LPS, you can see some of the dead skeleton on the left of the piece.

Yeah, maybe after it colors back up it will be a little easier to tell, I will have to admit it does look like mushrooms but it is not.

Why say you? I'm not denying it, but what's your rationale?

Yeah, it's got some good potential. Obviously a work in progress, but given the right conditions (which you'll have to figure out) it could turn into a gem.

From that picture I don't agree that there is enough evidence to definitively give a specification. |
