do sponges move? as far as i know (which isnt much), nems are the only things that have the ability to just get up and move? also it seems to b avoiding the light. maybe it will open up at night? definately looks like its just all closed up.

Try to position the rock so that it feels secure enough to open but yet you still have good access to view. Yeah, if its moving around, it probably isn't a sponge.

definitely not a sponge it kind of looks green so if your lucky it could be a bubble tip or if your unlucky a majano

so i moved this "thing" off my acans and into a different tank. "thing" moved around for a while, now there is two. one closed right up on the frag disk where "thing" ended up, and the original just floating around my tank. still wont really open up fully that i have seen. it doesnt look like my other mushroom hitchhicker either, so still unsure of the proper id? here is a pic of the two that i have now... help IDing this "thing" would still be greatly appreciated.

idk why photobucket wouldnt work?
