No idea what this is growing in my opae tank. The stem started and then the green flower looking thing at the tip. Can't get the best pics.

Hey Vorteil,
Does it look similar to Alveopora species that grows on hard coral?

On compatibility with Opae Ula, maybe Mustafa could give a little advise on this.

It looks cute though like a daisy flower

I don't think it's aveopora. I think i've had that in my old salt water reef tanks. Does not react or move when the opae come around it or touch it. I'll continue to take pics as the days go by.

It may be some kind of macroalgae....just keep monitoring it and see if it grows. Is there a way to take a more closeup picture of it?
