Sponges?

[DaveMc]

I have found several of these growing in my tank as of late. I am thinking they are sponges but not sure. Can anyone tell from the pic? If so is this good or bad lol.

Yea, not to worry. Just sponges.

Thanks reefing Madness. Was shocked to see them. Have always heard Sponges are hard to keep and they just popped out of nowhere.

When most people refer to keeping sponges they are different types. The ones you have are relatively common hitch hikers and are a sign of a healthy tank

I have them in my tank too. They are good for filter feeding.

I have been really enjoying them. I have to admit I was shocked that they just now showed up. The tank is a little over a year old now, I think, and they just started popping up lol.
