I know what you mean but when they are small it is hard to identify.

Yeah, it kinda looks like a cap that got caught up in a transporter fowl up.Its just not natural taking apart a living creature's molucules and reasembling them! I'll stick to the shuttles crafts.

Hey Brucey,

To the best of my knowledge, I believe it's a Montipora spongodes

Here's a link to a pretty darn good pic.
