Hello, I am Natasha and new to the Salt Geeks. I was just at Jack's Aquaruim and Carrie there told me about your site and that you will be able to help with a question I have. The following picture I will be uploading I need help in finding out what this is. It looks like a sac of eggs & then again it does not. Some people told me it could be sponge, but not sure. I have two in my tank. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi welcome to the group. It looks like a sponge if you are talking about the little tan thing in the image. Can you get a closer picture?

Also start a thread and tell us more about your tanks :)

Hello and welcome to the club! Would like a closer pic, but looks like a Q-Tip/Pineapple Sponge, it is safe and is a filter feeder. Typically show up if you have high silica/nitrates.

I have tried to get a closer picture, but when I do it gets blur.

Thank you Carrie for referring me to this site. The pepermint shrimps you sold is at home and now I am just waiting for them to munch down on those Aiptasia. Just never understand at of 3 years of having my tank that I started getting them. Can they hitch hike on snails or hermit crabs?

I think the aiptasia can come from live rock &/or corals. I'm not sure about them hitchhiking on snails or not.

As I told you in the store, I moved a piece of live rock COVERED in aiptasia to that tank and the peppermint shrimp devoured it in only a few days. :) They're lots of fun to watch too.

I enjoy my salt tank, I am thinking about changing my fresh tank to salt water once the fishes are gone or leave it as fresh and get a nano tank and do all corals.
