Ok, I have two unidentified growths in the tank on the live rock, and I was wondering if any of you could identify them for me.
The first one kind of looks like a shroom, and has spread. There are now six smaller versions on a few of the rocks and one large one that was the first one to appear. It appears to be blue-green to brown, and although I do not notice a center point, there appears to be a central location that all the sides "root" at. Heres a few photos:
Large, original version.

New version on another piece of rock. Look in the center of this picture.

This algea is also blue-green, almost metallic though. It seems to grow only in between some sargassum right now, and the general shape is like the end of a bone shaped dog cookie.

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated, I do apologize for the quality of the pics, but my camera has problems zooming in that far.
