Hey guys.......

I have little white things groing in my sump. Seems they got there over night. About half the size of a pencil eraser with what seems to be a fan like a very small duster on the end.

Pineapple Sponge is my guess. I'd search RC for you to find you some links and more info, but the search page is down :rolleyes:

I would say tunicates.

I have those in both my tanks. I believe I read somwhere once that they are a type of sea squirt (tunicate) like Troy F indicated. They are harmless and don't seem to get out of control. My coral beauty seems to like eating them :biggrin:
