    Just curious what this is, and my google searching skills are a bit off today... so I'm having no luck. It has nearly doubled in size in the past week.

    Cheers!

    Unfortunately, it's right in a the middle of my tank, and I can't get any other angles to take the pic. I can try to take another once my MH's turn of for the day.

    It almost looks like a small sps coral.

    It's soft, and blows around in the current. That makes it hard to focus on. It's pink, and it has almost what looks like polyps, the tips of which are darker pink.

    Here's another shot. Slightly different angle, and I had to play around in Photoshop for a bit to try and make it as clear as possible.

    Maybe a strawberry anemone?

    I googled that, and what I have doesn't look like anything that came up on image search. It doesn't have an anemone shape to it either... I wish I could get a better pic of it.

    I was thinking that it was maybe some sort of sponge, but that's just a guess.

    bump.

    It's nearly doubled in size again. Some type of sponge maybe?
