These came on the rock in the tank I bought and I have had no luck finding a close picture through all my googling...  (Sorry for the cellphone pics)

This one is bright yellowish green and has fine, short 'hairs'



This one is more dull green and brown and has longer, thicker polyps.  It has been recovering nicely and has hardly any of the white (I assume skeleton) showing anymore.



Any ideas?

Yup, that's it, thanks guys.  I found these much better pictures now that I know what to google





I have a small piece (quarter size) of the bottom one that broke off while messing with my rocks.  Is that big enough to start a new colony?

Yes, that "frag" (fragment) is large enough
