KamDesai Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 The attached picture shows what white stringy thing I have in my tank. It is growing on the bottom side of the HOB and Powerhead, so it doesn't seem to need much light. It started there and now it is starting to grow down over my heater. This is the best picture I can get of it. Any ideas on what it is? Good or bad? Thanks! Link to comment
KamDesai Posted September 2, 2003 Author Share Posted September 2, 2003 Sorry they are blurry, but its a weird angle to take pictures... Link to comment
KamDesai Posted September 2, 2003 Author Share Posted September 2, 2003 Does it give anyone else the creeps or is it just me? Link to comment
KamDesai Posted September 2, 2003 Author Share Posted September 2, 2003 Also, all my water levels are in check and I don't have anything out of range. Link to comment

BlackSumbel Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I have some stuff that kinda looks like that. I think it's a sponge... not sure though... -Sumbel Link to comment
KamDesai Posted September 2, 2003 Author Share Posted September 2, 2003 So do you think its ok to have in there? I haven't attempted to scrape it off yet. Not sure how easily it will come off. It has been growing pretty quickly though. Link to comment
KamDesai Posted September 3, 2003 Author Share Posted September 3, 2003 I am not convinced this is a sponge. Anyone else have any ideas? Link to comment
BlackSumbel Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Someone on the chat just informed me that they are a primitive coral. So, maybe? I dunno. It's growing in with my Xenia and the xenia seems like it doesn't even notice it. -Sumbel. Link to comment
KamDesai Posted September 3, 2003 Author Share Posted September 3, 2003 Very weird. I am not sure how it is surviving if it is coral since it is getting almost no light and doesn't seem to be filter feeding... Link to comment
KamDesai Posted September 11, 2003 Author Share Posted September 11, 2003 actually it is filter feeding, I just noticed some small almost polyp like extensions that are waving in the current. Still have no idea what this thing is and its pretty ugly. Might just try to scrape it off. Link to comment
