First one looks like button polyps, nice hitchhiker!

Second is definitley a hairy mushroom. Green...maybe?

Nice pics

I agree green button polyps on the first one. They look just like mine (pic included) and yes hairy mushroom.

The button polyps are palythoa. A very common hitchhiker and if the parameters are right, they will spread quickly.

The hairy mushroom is cool. what am I saying, this hobby is cool.... Isn't it nice to get new things popping up out of nowhere?


Cheers

Thanks. It is a good feeling to find new items. I saw my first pod walking around on the overflow chamber yesterday. Not sure which type but I'll try and ID it later. The mushroom is green and looks better under the actinics where the tips seem to glow. I also have another rock with some smaller mushrooms growing on them. I'll also try and ID them soon. They are to small to get a good shot of.
