[Miatafan98]

Hey guys! Can anyone id this hitchhiker/critter? This was originally a plug of psammacora that rtn'd one day, these have since been growing all over that plug and a little bit on another of mine.

Looks like pink clove polyps.

Actually, if its really sympodium, it will grow more slowly. There's another coral simply called blue polyps that grows like a weed. My guess is you have either the pink clove polyp or the blue polyps based on their speed of growth and that you got them as a hitchhiker. I've had a sympodium for a couple of months now, it's attractive, but has not started growing yet.
