    What are these things? They seem to be decimating my GSP. I see them everywhere in my tank now. They even make what appears to be a opaque, web like, volcano shaped thing on my clam's shell. In an attempt to figure out what the hell it was I popped it before I snapped a shot. If it reappears I will update this post. Any clue?

    Ditto Sushi Girl, they are pineapple sponges they will reproduce like crazy very reef safe and a simple filter feeder. Sometimes they flourish and other times they do not get the proper diet and disappear.
