    +1 sponges -they shouldn't be harmful unless they start to grow over corals. They help to filter the water and are typically good indicators of high water quality.

    Yeah, you want to be careful about angering the sponges...there have been a couple cases of documented cases of aquarists who have been assaulted by their sponges!! :p :)
