Anyone know what kind of SPS this is..?

This little tiny peice came on a rock covered in zoa. I broke the peice off and mounted it and it has been growing very slow. At night little tiny feeders come out. It is starting to encrust on the frag disk, just a little bit.

Looks large in the photos... but each head is about .25-.5mm across. Very very tiny. Actual size of that whole peice is about 1/2" x 3/8"

Well that is a nice color. If it is a Pavona maybe you can have your own "Grarage LE Pavona".

Wow its nice! I would guess Madracis Sp. Maybe Montastrea too? I hink it will be easier to ID once it grows a bit, that way we can see the growth pattern. Good luck it is pretty.

If you read Borneman Aquarium Corals book on page 246, It appears to be a 'Siderastea'. He states that most of themn come as hitchhickers.
