Bubble Coral or Bubble Algae? - Aquarium Advice

Phyl · 01-31-2005, 08:47 PM

I got this mostly dead piece of bubble coral from someone who was breaking down his tank (he threw it in the box with some other [acronym:ad0e533a0f="Broken or cut pieces of coral which will eventually grow into a new animal"]frags[/acronym:ad0e533a0f] I was taking). The thing has been trying to open since I had it but it isn't doing so great. Then yesterday I noticed what I hope is new bubbles, but I have the sneaking suspicion that what's on this rock is actually bubble algae, not bubble coral.

Looks like bubble algae to me. Never seen a bubble coral quite so green.
