i picked up a frag out of the cheapy tank at phishy last week and i got two extra hh's on it can you tell me what these are?
one looks like a really dark green zoa with tank spoting and i am not sure what the other is. looks kinda like a shroom of some sort but it closes up like a polyp and it may have a calcium base.

agree on the first.. second is definately odd. Seems like a cross between a ricordea mushroom and a hairy mushroom. If it has a calcium base then even more odd, something like a strange variety of a duncan coral or odd blastomussa? Got me stumped.
 
i believe the second is a blastomussa. i just havn't seen that color variation on any of the web sites. i think it will look good once it starts growing

yup. blastomussa merletti.
The more common color variation is the red with a green center (more than just the mouth), but that one is certainly around.
