    Just set up new tank a few weeks ago. I used my live rock from 1 of my old tanks and I noticed these on my old LR. Pretty cool looking. What do you think?

    I agree it looks like a sponge, I once had one but it had a greenish tint to it.

    casio exilim 10mp set to macro. Have to keep camera perfectly still. Helps if you take multiple pics until you get a good one.
