Think it’s St Augustine. The few blade tips I see that are not cut by the mower are blunted/rounded, and I see one stolon where the leaves are opposite.

Here is pic of St Augustine on bottom (tips rounded, leaves opposite), centipede on top (leaf tip pointed, leaves alternate). Pull a stolon (runner) and compare to the photo to verify.

St Aug will over run bermuda. Not sure how to stop it if that is the deal.

MSMA (if you can get it) will kill the St Augustine and not harm the Bermuda.

Mow low and then pull the runners. You can also water down some round up and spray it

This will take care of the problem. It may burn the Bermuda some but it will come right back. St Aug has no chance

Bermuda is tough and drought tolerant but won’t overgrow any St Aug coming through

I hate Bermuda. I'm trying to get it out of my St. Aug.
