Help with Identification of new growth on LR
Can anyone identify what this is growing on my live rock. There are three or four spots in my tank. Greenish-Yellowish in color, one looks a little orange. Looks like a half-dome shape with individual "cells" filling it. Sort of looks like califlower in a way.
I took a few pictures of them. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...l/PICT0720.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...hercloseup.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...el/closeup.jpg |

Individual sponge species are hard to ID, however, those are most definitely some sort of sponge.
