    Yea, I know. I have one really big one but you only need one.

    I need to drag the rock over to the main tank so my predators there can get them but was afraid to with whatever that is on the rock. Thought I would identify it first.

    Probably be ok to move the other one tho.

    Thank you, I hope so. Not sure what it is but I'm getting some really cool hitchikers from my coral guy. Hate to kill it and find out it is a good one.

    It does look like a sponge to me as well... more like the beginning of one.

    Do you think the coloring will change. I kinda like the swirly confused look.:eek:

    If you look closely at:balloon::balloon: the second picture, on the right hand side, it looks like there is a half circle. ...:balloon:

    I think so. They usually change to their definitive color as they grow and get more water flow through them. I've seen them in my tank in white, yellow, gray, orange.
