    I'm seeing white fuzzy balls appearing around my tank.They seriously look like little white fuzzy puff balls.

    Any help?

    I got those when I was treating my tank with medication and had the skimmer and filter media off. As soon as I turned all my stuff back on and did a water change I never saw those again. I have no idea what they were.

    sounds like pineapple sponges. When I first set up my tank I had a pretty big outbreak of them but then they disappear..I still have a few underneath my rocks and inside my skimmer. Nothing to worry about.

    Yeap thats exactly what those were. Sorry for making another thread about them. After researching all this time I never came across anything like this.

    Thanks.
