Sorry to complain about the quality of the picture, I'm often not any better, but it is hard to tell. I'll venture a sponge of some sort.

I think it's the white anemone-esque thing on the rock. Might be a sponge, but it looks like that area is exposed to a bit of light, so maybe not.

It doesn't look like any spong I have ever seen. those are the best pictures I can get, and yes I need to Id the white thing. it has a lot of little white tentacles like a anemone, and in the 3 different spots, there are small whitish translunet tubes. they are really small, and I just noticed them today. I really can't get a better pic, that is exactly what it looks like.

Here's why I think it's a sponge. My pic is marginally better, and I'm sure that it's a sponge in my tank.

That looks nothing like what is in my tank. Your is a thick base with a few hair-like points coming off of it. Mine just looks like a bunch of white grass.
