I wasn't sure where to post this because I don't know what it is...
I found this in the bottom of my sump today while doing some cleaning...what is it?

Let’s see if we can get some help with an ID....

Looks like an acropora coral frag to me.

It is an acro - either acro Formosa or UC Bright Green Acro

I was going to say possible pocillipora? What does it look like in the water with polyps extended? Picture please?

Well I found it just like that in my sump, so I don't know if the polyps have ever extended. Should I put it in the DT?

 

[saltyhog]

Heck, I would. I don't think it's anything that's a threat. What do you have in your sump? Live rock? Rubble? Any acros that might look similar but different color? Any lights over the sump?

This is intriguing.

Just live rock. And I was using a plant LED light for my chaeto, but it keeps dying. Plus I found this at the bottom of the sump, under the rocks...really weird to me

This is it in the DT

I bet you that's it! Wild that it grew that much in the sump.

It's odd for sure. I don't have any acros, so to find one in my sump is even more weird...

I contend it's a dead acro skeleton with bright green algae slime growing on it.... but I would need closeup pics or to see it in person.

Will do in a few!

Here's a few up close pictures. I hope they help!

that looks like a painted acro coral skeleton. Could have been accidentally included in your rubble. is is slimy to the touch? did you see any polyps extend when in the tank?

It is not slimy and I haven't seen any polyps extend yet
