When you do the shrooms, dig out a piece of the rock under it. Much easier to glue that way.

Not for sure of the name of it, but i call it green lava, under light it gets about 3/8 think, and gets a blackish featherish texture on the ridges and it moves in rolls kinda like hot lava does, kinda kool..

I have lost of these frag discs.  They are the larger discs not the smaller plug.  These are perfect for what you are planing to do.

$7 for a bag of 15

Merulina is what it is. I have a frag in the basement. Pretty cool coral. Kinda looks like an encrusting acro.

from what im reading hydnophora sp, take very intence lighting if that the case it should be dead lol, ive only got pc's and there about shot, and if you google hydnophora sp its a stony limbed coral.  this has no skeleton whats so ever, its almost like a slime..

Its both depending on who you talk to. Kinda like Pavona. What I purchased was Merulina, and its identical to that. Hydnophora has more pronounced coralites. They are more circular, and less angular.

in the picture, it looks like it is on a branching skeleton, just that most of it had died off. hydnophora is one of the easiest to keep and most aggressive sps coral out there.
