Is this a sponge

[Mcmcoker]

Is this some kind of sponge? It came in on the live rock and has now survived 6 weeks of hypo. Don't know much about sponges but wouldn't think what ever it is would survive hypo and no lights

not 100% cause my eyes are bad but looks like a
ric mushroom

Don't think its a mushroom. It's pretty hard to the touch and I don't think mushrooms would survive hypo

Looks like a shroom spore ro me. Give it time and see

It's not a mushroom. I forget the name of it but mr x knows the name

 

[Stlrockguy]

It's called Foraminferons

Ahh that's it, it's actually a agglutinated forarm. At first I didn't think this was right because my initial reading said they are microscopic single celled organisms but as I read further it showed that they can form structures like the one in my pic. It would also appear that there is Some sort of common link between them and sponges because they are most commonly found in places where there is a high concentration of sponges. Thanks for the help

It's no problem. If it wasn't for mr x I would have never figured out what they are. I have them in my tank also
