I got this from DBlackman awhile back and cant remember what it is. The whole colony is about 2'' x 2''. each head is smaller than a pencil eraser. I thought maybe blastomussa merletti, but I havent found another one this small. Anyone have any ideas?

Smaller than an eraser sounds like Micromussa

Thanks for the replies. I havent been able to find another pic of a blastomussa merletti that even looks close to this pic.
