    I looked in my 60 gal this morning and noticed there was this weird looking creature in between my rocks. I just have normal lighting for an all fish tank, like freshwater lighting, nothing that could sustain a anemone or coral. It is about two inches tall, pure white with little tenticles on top. It is not thin but roundish. So, I did what most curious people would do.. I poked it! ;D Its sqwishy and didn't retract when I touched it.:confused: What is it? I will try to add a decent picture of it when I can.
    Amazing what you find in your tank everyday

    No, its larger and pure white with stubby tenticles on the top. I took a closer look and noticed it looks like its only partway open. It kinda looks like a big ugly slug but its not a slug lol

    Sounds like a giant pineapple sponge, but we need a pic. Maybe a cucumber?
