Stewielouie86 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hello, I am new to the forum. We have had this tank up and running since 7/23. We have been takin git very slow. The tank seems healthy. This growth has started in the past 2 weeks or so. It appears to be a gold bubble of some sort. After looking through all sorts of ID forums I am thinking it may be a sponge but I have yet to see a gold sponge online. Could someone tell me what this is? It is stationary and directly in front of the flow from the sump on a piece of liverock. 26 gallon bow front Link to comment

jestep Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Doesn't look like one but there's so many varieties it definitely could be. I would be more inclined to say it's some sort of tunicate before a sponge, but some coral would be my first guess. Is there any opening in it? Link to comment
Stewielouie86 Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 It does not have an opening that I can see. It is getting bigger everyday. It has a green tube-like thing coming out of it. You can see it in the pictures above. I am going to try to get a better picture. I looked up tunicates, it does look similar to a juvenile tunicate although I still can't find any organism that is gold. Link to comment
