Possible hitchhiker coral?
One of our pieces of LR has what appeared to be a coral skeleton on it, but after a couple of months now, it appears that we have some polyps growing! It seems to be some sort of encrusting coral, but I'm not sure. Heck, it might not even be coral, for all I know!
 Here's a photo (please excuse tuft of algae!):  [/url]

That is a common hitch hiker coral on LR from Tampa Bay kive rocks. I just reasearched the name, montastrea (cavenosa?).
