white puffs in between zooanthid polyps
 

Hey, ive just noticed my small zooanthid colony is retracted a fair bit, but still creeping out, but a number of white puffy things are interspersed between them. any ideas of what im talking about? this has only started in the last day or two... hope they're not sick... :-( photo needed?

I would guess sponges. I have a few in mine also. Perfectly harmless.

just put up a picture in my build album. can see it there. any thoughts? I dont think they're sponges, they grow much slower than this.. popped up almost over night.

Look like Tunicates to me; but hard to tell.. Can you get a closer picture..

at one point one of them had extended a long red tentacle of sorts. thought it was just a cyano clump that had got caught in the water column. does that help at all?

Their sponges..:lol:

Pineapple Sponges.

S.

I would pick the sponges out from the Zoas if they are receding.

just tweezers? razor blade? never performed marine surgery b4. haha..

tweezers should do the trick, grab on and give it a twist.
