Red coral or something growing
 

Hello I am new to salt water and got given a 5 year old 45 gal tank
Anyways I notices yesterday there looks to be some red coral or something growing on the live rock. I'll post a picture tonight. It's very tiny and looks like it will branch out. Any one have any ideas

Welcome to Canreef! Sorry, I have no clue what your red mystery coral could be.

Hope it is not a Red October or Surprise Party...

And welcome to Canreef...

:lol: Well played Sir!

Yeah thanks, couldn't have done it without your help!...:biggrin:

Sorry, Derrick, but if you post a pic, maybe someone could help with your coral ID.

I will be tonight. Thought if get some ideas to google in the mean time

This is the little guy

Looks like a sponge. Not certain though

coral
 

could be a devils hand,chilli coral or carnation-too small to really see

Nothing bad tho?

That does appear to be a sponge...not harmfull at all...but can easily crowd corals if it over grows :)

Any new pics of this Derrick?

No sorry a crab picked it off so it is no more
