Can someone please help me ID this coral? I'm assuming its a leather of some sort. Thanks.

The first picture might be a Cladiella. The second one looks like blue clove polyps, the scourge of many reef tanks out there. Very beautiful, but they'll end up everywhere...

They are both the same thing, I guess depending on how the lights hit it. I have to keep trimming it back because its encroaching on my monti's space. All the white stuff you see under the monti is the left over tissue. It sprouts new polyps and just keeps growing, lol.

Really? Fooled me... I'm still going with Cladiella though.

That's gotta be it! Because the bigger mother colony looks exactly like the picture in the link.

Ya that little piece is a floater from when I was trimming back the mother colony. Landed in the crevice and started to grow there, lol.

Thank you for the help.

:D
