Default what are they ????

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.




any ideas........

Thanks for your help

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

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
