This is a two part question....
Hello all,
I picked up a frag from the LFS, and they called them mystery polyps. I thought they were joking. But I wanted to see if you can take a look and help identify: (sorry I can't get a clearer pic. And the polyps are super tiny)
Also, I have a Xenia that I think is growing a big zit. haha. I think its sprouting. What do you think?
Thank you!!

AHH!!! I couldn't find them anywhere. When I saw them, I knew I had to pick them up. Right now I'm excited about the Xenia's, but I'm sure I will come to hate them. Now I can try fragging. Crossing fingers.
Thanks for the help!!

Nah, just cut the xenia and then take a big whiff of your hands! Seriously tho, if you cut it the xenia will grow back and you have more frags later. Do it while you can cause seems the older my tank gets the less the stuff grows so I really don't have enough to frag anymore.
