Hey all I'm new here but I've got an unknown in my tank growning on some of my LR and I was curious if anyone on here might know what this could be. Sorry for the blurry pics and thanks in advance!

Looks like a sponge. Should be harmless.

It doesn't really seem to react to light that I've seen. Usually when seeing something that I have no idea what it is my first reaction is definitly not to touch it heh but if its just a sponge and its harmless thats definitly makes me feel better. Thanks!

Yeah its been in the same spot for a while now. Seems to be growing more. Its not directly in the light and its kind of shaded so maybe its just in a good spot. I'm in Parsippany which is in Morris count if you aren't familiar with the area.
