Hi folks!

I'm in the middle of cyclind my 55g right now, and couldn't help but notice something growing on the one piece of live rock I purchased. I sure hope its nothing bad.

Below are four pictures, its the pink thing in the middle.

Thanks

Vince

shots are blurry-but it is probably a sponge

lol its just that small, its pink and kinda looks like an aptasia. Is there pink aptasia?

It does look anemone-like, I can sorta distinguish the tendrils. I don't think it's aiptasia though. Any way to get a clearer/closer shot?

[Edit] And how big is it?

Dose it move around? Have you touched it? If so what dose it feel like, slimy and smooth if it is I would say it's a sponge aswell

Smaller than a dime at the moment, I will try to get a better shot tonight. I have to move the live rock its on to get to it. my camera skills aren't the greatest lol.
