Sponge Bob
A couple of weeks ago I found something in a piece of my tonga. I posted it with the ? what is it. everyone seemed to agree it was a sponge, no big deal. But now I have found one attached to a new addition and my question is should I remove it or should I let it stay?

um I think we are going to need a clearer picture to ID anything.
I know it can be hard to do. Do you have a marcro setting on your camersa? Usually shown by a tulip as the icon? Can you move the zoas to the glass and take a pic with the macro setting?

That looks more like a Tunicate than a sponge.

Basically just an organism that feeds off floating debris. They are helpful in that they clean the water some IMO
