Hi jonjbck,
Your image is not working for me. It looks like you forgot to hit the [Img] icon one last time to close the tag.
but then again I'm computer illiterate 
While we're at it - Can anyone ID this one. It's brownish/gold, ruffled, rubbery and grows in leaves like butter lettuce?

jonjbck- I'm no expert but that looks like a tree coral to me, although the thick base is puzzling so maybe I'm wrong.. is it soft?
dale- sorry no idea  |

I believe that's some sort of algae. I forget the name, though. |

| Pete you're right that looks like brown plate algae, but maybe not if it's rubbery |

its some tyep of macro algae. I have something like that but its more of a yellow colour. propgation of it is pretty easy. chop off a clump and superglue it to a rock.
the soft coral looks like a colt or tree coral, maybe I am mistaken but I didn't think the substrat was where they were normally found?
