    Hi, can use help identifing the following growth on an art rock my wife purchased a month ago. Our tank is a 72 gallon corner tank with a bow front glass. It was set up about 2 months ago with Live sand, Live rock and a couple of ART ROCK my wife liked and purchased. There is somethings growing which I am not sure what it is nor if its good or bad. They look like little bottles, and they sometimes swell and contract back to size. They are a skin tone color and approx 1/4" in length (see attached pic). They start out as a white hairy groth and then grow to what I described above. I am a newbie to reefs but have had several fresh water tanks ranging in size from 5 gal - 30 gal. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Peter
