Help me ID this.......sponge??
So I have oodles of these in my tank, typically behind or under rocks away from the light. It seems that some are white and some are dark blue/black. I moved my power heads around which blew this one to the front, but some are 10" long. I'm not bothered by them - just wondering if anyone else has seen them. Sorry about the crappy phone pictures.

I have some that are similar but not as long. Mine are yellow and like yours they grow in the shaded areas. I was told they are a type of sponge and harmless. Mine just sprouted up a few months ago when I increased my salinity a bit.

Looks like the "evil" sponge(as I like to call it). This stuff stings me when I touch it and makes me super itchy.

I have.....still high though, but I've only had it running for a week. I might start vodka dosing. I have been reading about it for a while now.

you can slightly brush your hand to it and it won't sting but if you put any pressure yes it will feel like a burn. I have been stung a few times but this is one of my favorite sponge. It is very beautiful when producing many structures going upward.
I wonder why we feed the sting? chimical maybe? They do protect themselves. Anyone not wanting the stuff, please ship it to me. I'll pay for the shipping. Quote:
