Can anyone identify this stuff growing on my live rock? It looks clear/ turquoise an here and there you can see a small white tube sticking out (when in the water) and it grows prettly slowly but steadily on my live rock. I'm just wondering if this is a problem?  |

| I'll throw a guess out. I think its just a sponge. Nothing that is going to do any harm.. actually helpful. I have numerous amounts of them in my tank |

Looks like either a sponge or maybe a tunicate
Either way, not harmful
But don't keep exposing it to air or you may kill it ------------- - My Current Tank: 65g Starfire (sitting empty for 2+ years) - * Marine & Reef tanks since 1977 * |
