Hey guys,
I've been noticing these weird white buds growing on 2 of my corals I bought from the same place. I have no idea what they are. They kinda look like they're multiplying fast. Does anyone know what they are?
I see them located right under the heads.

Pineapple sponges? Its kinda hard to tell. Could you get a photo with a flashlight shining on them.

Looks like sponges to me. I might be wrong though.

Yes! These are what they look like closer up.
I just punched pineapple sponges into google.

My tank is pretty young so I guess they're not a big deal. Thanks for leading me in the right direction to Id-ing these.

Penicillin should clear it up.
