Coral or sponge ID

[ReeferSpot]

Hey...
I picked up some zoas today and there was a little blue thing that encrusted on the side of the frag. I managed to take it off but i'm not sure of what it is. It had green polyps that retracted after the iodine dip. Any ideas of what it is? It's the blue thing under the snail with the bubbles on it.Thanks

Blue and green sympodium coral I’ve got one in my tank.

I googled sympodium coral but it doesn't look like it all. It doesn't have any "stems" on it, just little green mouths.

Here is mine, half closed.

Try taking more pics. Is it hard or soft? Hard to judge from the current pic but it could possibly be cyphastrea. Cant give you a positive ID though.

It's soft.

Ok, rules out cyphastrea. I'd try to get a few more pics with white light and wait for them to open.

Lights just went out.
This is the best I can get.

I'd wait to see if it opens. I can only guess at this point from sympodium to zoas or even a tunicate from the way it looks. It looks very similar to @Dsnakes photo.

Ok..... I'll see what it looks in the morning.

Thanks...it seems that I've posted this in the wrong section.

Upon further inspection they do look like your pic. Thanks.
