Just got this astrea. Ideas on what came with him? Thanks!

Looks like an sps

Wouldn't be surprised to find that it's some form of Pocillopora.

Wonder what it looks like when the lights kick on. Not dangerous to my reef I assume?

No need for that. I agree with the above comments, it looks to be a pocillopora, It will not harm your reef in any way.

I think those guys may be right.. I've seen those things growing like weeds in random tanks over the years. Good luck

looks like a poccilipora, very hardy sps, not surprised its growing on your snail shell

Why take a chance I wouldn’t

It has been relived of duty in Fraggle Rock.
Thanks to everyone who chimed in! Check out my build thread if you get a chance!

I have a couple small frags of pocillipora that look similar to that.

When the polyps are fully extended they look the same

 

[Garbonzo]

Poci was definitely my first thought
