Yeah!...Some lovely pieces of LR!.............Especially the first pic! But can't make my mind up weather or not it's coraline or cyano?...........Either way I like!.......Looks like plenty of life on there too!

If you find out what them little green/brown shoots are sticking out the rock then let me know as I have loads!

The brownish things look like vermetid snails. Usually harmless, but if you get a lot of them the web that the spread over the rock sometimes can bother coral, but they're usually nothing to worry about. I'm going to guess the white thing is a sponge, but don't hold me to it.

Agree on the vermatid snails! i have one in my nano and his web keeps covering my zoas which have now closed up as a result! Looks like soldering iron time!

probally is that, saw a bit of what i thought was hair on the rock earlier so i took it out. must be them snails.
not sure if it is a sponge or not.

any idea on first pic?

but they dont look like snails, just llook like spikes so i never would have guessed

My vermetid actually lives in an old shell encrusted in a piece of live rock. But it looks similar to those green/brown spiky things. If you see what looks exactly like a loose bit of spiders web hanging from them then you know what it is! lol
