not sure what it is but it seems like more have showed up in the past week.


i also see ALOT of pinapple sponges forming everywhere

Look like sponge tubes most likely some sort of demosponge sp. But I could be way off.

 

[fcamargo6thave]

i have the same thing never knew what it was thanks for posting

 

[ScorpionSys]

You know what looking at them again they may be some sort of tunicates

 

[Marcellina]

are they opaque and hollow?

 

[anthony27]

the look like sponges

 

[JonnyJ]

thanks all, im pretty sure they are sponges as well.


i have around 200 pinapple sponges in my tank and rear chambers...why? and how? lol?

 

[ScorpionSys]

how old is the tank? I had a huge amount of the sponges grow in the first few months I think it is from high nutrients. When everything stabilized they went away.

 

[JonnyJ]

i had ap24 up for 3 months then transfered to solana and its been up 3 months or so

 

[ScorpionSys]

Yea things are still stabilizing I would think lots of life will bloom and then fall back. I had a billion fan worms, Bispira in the sand at one time, then a load of Spirorbids, then sponges all died back to normal non plague like proportions in time. Was fun to watch
