Help with ID: What is it?
Hi all,
Just starting up a tank and received some live rock. I noticed that it has this white stuff on one of the rocks. Is it a sponge? fungus? Is it dead? Should I remove it? It is outlined in red in the pictures below (one with, one without the flash). Thanks in advance. http://members.shaw.ca/nemod/aquarium/id01.jpg http://members.shaw.ca/nemod/aquarium/id02.jpg |
It is really out of focus, but even so, my guess would be sponge, and I would not worry about it.:mrgreen:

It's sponge, might turn blueish. I had a nice yellow one grow outa nowhere, something ate it.
|
Ok, thanks.
But aren't sponges not to be removed out of water? When I was transporting this rock, I'm sure it was out of water several times. Shouldn't it be dead because of that? What color does dead sponges turn to? |
Some sponges are more resilient than others.
