    While checking up on my tank, I found these on the glass. They are bright orange in color an seem to be structured similar to that of a gorgonia. But they are on the glass, not on the sand...and they are tiny.

    New pictures, these are the best I could get. The last one is fuzzy, but I zoomed in so you can see the structure/shape of them better. They are like branches or sticks...but some parts are just like stringy.

    I'm not sure if they have fuzzy tips. The largest one is maybe 1/3 the size of my fingernail.

    Hard or soft? Let's touch and we'll find out.

    Haha! I touched one of them and I accidentally smashed it...surprisingly, I couldn't feel it. It's so thin and small, I can't tell whether it's hard or soft...
