FLOWER LOOKING THING?

[Dkim]

Hello.
I recently see some flower looking thing everywhere on the rock. Seems to be coral of some kind? Anyone knows? Thanks

Looks kinda like a blue clove polyp....or something like that lol I'm sure the reef squad will know for sure!

They remind me of Tubipora musica

Looks like some kind of clove polyp to me as well.

They will cover your rock in due time if you do not remove. I had good luck removing the clove polyps using kalk paste.

Agree with others on clove polyps, very invasive should be isolated on a individual rock away from the rest of your rock structures.

@C. Eymann What's your thoughts

It kinda looks like sarcothelia, but cant tell from the pics if the center discs have concave mouths like sarcothelia does.

Thanks for the info everyoje. It is everywhere.
Looks good to me.
Recommend removing them?

sympodium or alveopra?

OP, Google image search sarcothelia,

The very fact you just said its everywhere makes me think sarcothelia unfortunately.

Some have had good luck with eradication by dosing fenbendazole, be cautious though.
