Identification help please

Hi all! Well my ich recovery program is moving allong well, but I have something new in my tank that I cannot identify. There are 5 of these little white 'things' groing on my LR. I can't get a good picture, they are too small for the lousy camera I have. They are about 1/8" around, 1/4" tall, pure white, cottony in texture, and pineapple shaped with 5 or 6 small tendrils out the top. I had 5 or 6 aptasia anemonae that I killed off with Joe's juice. Is this a rebuilding, or are they something I want?

Impossible to say...could you draw it? Could be medusa worms (good) or could be hydroids (baaad)...or any number of critters that fit that description!!! ;D

 

Now this is just a guess but i think i have some in my tank. They are a type of sponge so no worries they are harmless, heres a pic just to be sure qtip sponge and heres a link to another thread about them click here. I know theres 1 or 2 more but i cant seem to find them.

Hope it helps...

Marc.

 

Thanks Marc, you pegged them! ;D In my original description I almost said that they looked like the end of a Q-tip. And in the link you gave me they are called both pineapple and q-tip sponge! Thanks again!
