Can you identify this coral?
This coral must have come on some of my LR. It started out as a small (half the size of a dime) greenish hard coral, and now it's about the size of a half-dollar. The pictures aren't very good, but can you figure it out? If I HAD to try to describe it to someone who couldn't see it, I'd say it looked like a mangled plate coral that grew across the LR. It has small polyps that extend. Any ideas?

Galaxea? Does it have really long sweepers that come out at night?

Graham--no, no tentacles, but good guess. I will have to get some better pictures. It's almost like it spreads with the terrain of the LR. Strange.

That wasn't me..  
I'd guess Galaxea as well, though...but a closer in-focus pic would definitely help.

looks like out of focus star polyps to me; but I am sure you won't be asking if that is what they were. DOes it have a skelton or just encrust the live rock? |

I thought star polyps to. To hard to get a good ID without focus though.
