Default What is this on my live rock?
Hey, got these things popping up all over our 55gal reef and we're wondering what they are and if they are good or bad?

They look almost like small clusters (the size of a dime or smaller) of light blue eggs, but sometimes they have small hair-like things sticking out of them. Have done some searching but "little blue egg-like things" doesn't turn up much haha. Just wondering if anyone could shed some light? Thanks,

Dave

Doesn't matter how much you have been reading until you take the plunge.
You don't know as much as you think.

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

Porifera? I'm guessing some kind of sponge. They are hameless. However the aptasia right beside it is not.

Ha ha. I never even saw the sponge... the Aptasia was in the way! LOL.

Sorry. Bad joke.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
