    how about Identifying the last picture in the my last response, anyone?

    The first picture is of a small white donut lookin thing. I appears to be stringy inside and trsanparent. I polyp that I posted earlier this week for id purposes closed up a while a ago and the seem to look alike. I was sonder if this could be a polyp in the making?

    Second is of this white bubbly looking stuff. It looks some what like mildew next to it and before this came out it was very white in this area like some sort of cacoon. i thought is was maybe the rock dying off or something. Is this waste of some sort?

    The third is of a string looking like that of a fishing string. It pops in and out the rock and starts sticking to its surrounds as if it were picking up food. It stretches out for about an inch to two and goes around its area. There are many like this on a few of my rocks

    The bubbly looking stuff is either something that died on your rock or sponge!
    The first picture isn't too clear as I cant see what you want us to. Same with the third photo.
    Sorry, i can't be of more assistance!

    White circles

    Here is another picture of the first one previously posted. This morning when I awoke I went to check that white circle looking thing out and found that there are three of them side by side. Any ideas
