Has anyone seen this before? If not I have a few ideas for names. What do you guys think? the morph is in the center with the black widow type hourglass shape on the disk

Very Nice!!! I've seen a few different variations. Some with more of a grayish outer rim and orange center. Some with a brown/ gray with white speckles, but haven't seen the one you have.
 
some of these coffee brown protopalythoa like these exibit between brown, tan, light teal, to some with bluish hue's..... super envasive growers.

I recommend not putting those in your main rock work.
 
That's news to me 650, I haven't had any trouble from them yet. But my tank is far from grown out! Ill work on getting them back to the sand bed.

Anyone seen anything like that morph before? I love the black widow like symbol and am thinking of calling them blue widows if its a new morph. Or blue widow death to keep with its heritage.
 
trust me man, I would not want those things on my main rocks again. I don't want to be kalk pasting and chipping of rocks for days again.

They look cool on the sand bed and grow super fast, I used to give them away ( with the info that the person getting them not let them hit the main rocks ), I give tons away and weeks later it looks like the colony was never pruned.
 
they're the same type protopalythoas, some come with dark brown, coffee light brown, while some have a tinge of green hue, blue hue, cammo pattern etc... but one thing is similar they grow way faster than Nuclear greens and purple deaths.
 
Hehe yeah Ive been spending time ripping them out with long forceps trying to get all the tissue off. I threw some in my sons tank and he had hundreds taking it over. Invasive for sure, and IMO kinda ugly, but maybe thats cause I have been trying to kill them in my main tank so long. I did the kalkpaste thing and they just come back with more vigor lol.
 
No offense, but those are called "weeds of the sea" - definitely a pain the butt to get rid of.
 
I got these as blue deaths a few months back. They are a slate blue with overtones of grey. I like em and don't mind if they grow nuts :)

epoxy them in! then in a week or two pry off the epoxy and presto ,their gone
 
wow, thats some crazy info. I love the color, but don't want them taking over my tank. It went from next time I arrange the tank to a High priority to get them on the sand bed! LOL. Thanks guys. Glad I posted these up haha.

and yes scopus, I see a few of that same morph in yours. I think its higher light that does it after reading the info 650 posted. Because they show a much stronger silver color aside from the hourglass center shape.

Thanks for the info 650!!!
