i just found the start of 2 sps colonies growing on my squamosa clam.
i hadn't notice them until i saw them under my moonlites. i can't i.d. them yet, but i think that is really neat to see 2 colonies of sps finding a home on one of my clams!

Hmmm, just a guess but they look "fuzzy" like a hydnophora. Its hard to say based on the pic.
Do you have any hydnophora in your tank?

It's pocillopora.

Yellow sponge and hydroids?

i think mikep is correct on the lime green one being a pocillopora, i have 2 of those corals, and the other one looks like either the bali slimer or my carmel colored acro, though i do have 2 hydnopora, it doesn't look like either one.
tim, one has a acro growth pattern, the other a pocilopora growth pattern.
