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.

welcome to TRT!
looks like a sponge to me from whati see.
how does it react to light / dark? have you touched it or does it move at all?

jenajet · 09-18-2007, 01:28 PM

sponge, I have them.

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!

nice yellow sponge, maybe related to Spongebobius squarepantius...

Usually found in conjunction with presence of orange spp. of Asteroides

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.
