30 of them?

The photo you posted is of a scolymia, I believe.  However in the trade you'll find them around 2" in diamater.  Obviously they start small and grow, so as hitchhikers you could have them as babies. I'm doubtful that 30 of them would appear on the same rock and all survive.

Blastomussa would look similar, but on a small scale.


Acanthastrea Echinata would also look similar, again on a smaller scale.

perhaps they are small hairy shrooms? Assuming that photo is not yours..

 no the picture isnt mine ive just been looking for days and finally came  across that pic and of course no name !!but its exactly what it looks like they are still pretty small and only appear on one rock and so far i counted 32 to be exact  wether or not they all make is another story ,the biggest one is about the size my thumb nail

[Tyler.L]

wow i didnt even read the 30 part lol thanks for slapping me on that one tim.

the next thing that it could possibly be is micromussa if its very small like size of a dime actually smaller than that. I will vote blastomussa merletti though but also dependant on the size of the head. Able to get a pic at all?

[Hookup]

yeah, i bet blasto or micro... If it is 32 scolymia and you're setup is paid for... good colored ones go for over $200 each... $6K is not bad for a $6/lb lr hitchhicker...

[Tyler.L]

just pray its a peice of rock from australia and you're good!

[heater15]

well im prayin
lol......
