proverbs308 · 08-27-2008, 11:32 PM

Is this a sea squirt? Are they all right in my tank? There seems to be an out break of them in my tank.

someone can correct me if I am wrong but they look like pineapple sponges to me.

Nope, you are correct.

yupp, just little calcerous (sp) sponges, quite normal and a good sign, you will start to see alot of them on te underside of rocks

Lots in my sump and overflow. They seem to like dark places.

yea pineapple sponges those things are popping up all over in my over flow box.

So I take it they are alright. I don't have to remove them or do anything because of them? Thanks everyone.

brandon · 08-28-2008, 06:29 PM

you can if you want but they dont hurt anything

They will come and go. Sometimes they "bloom" and you will see tons and then they just disappear. Some call them Q-tip sponges......Synconoid species.
