I lost my small colony earlier this year and am looking to see if anyone has this. I'll trade you some nice palys.

This is what it looks like:

I heard this stuff is like Aiptasia once it gets going. No?

If you can get more than one piece I'll take some too!

I have one that is similar, if not the same. the pic I have is way blue, but the sponge is a purple color and if you want a piece LMK.
Mine does not take over, it grows like a chalice, out int he water in a circle and it will grow up a rock, but it doesn't spread in the tank other than the rock it's one, and it's easy to remove so no worry about taking over the tank.

 
Thats awesome Bill. Where did you get it?

It was on reefbuilders last week.

Patrick looks like Bill has you covered. I made four frags and two are to return to DBTC, so I have one for you if not Bill. Mine is blue with some purple. Looking at the Reef Builder photos, I may need to move it up higher. It is growing more up than scrolling out.

Bill, thanks for getting this going as chain.
 
Patrick- whenever you're going to be in my area (mtn. view) PM me and I'll cut you a piece. Greg, same goes for you if you want some. Mine is a good sized so i can cut it pretty easy. I thought the Reefbuilders picture was the same one as mine, however the sponge looks like a lighter blue but that could from be the affects of the photo.
