I'm about 2 months into a 125g. All water readings are good. Currently no algae blooms.
I have seen several pics on this site of small sponges. I have several throughout my tank.
Im just strarting to see something that is bothering me. I have no camera so I'll try to describe what I see and turn it over to you guys. You been helpfull beyond belief thus far...
I have 135 pounds of liverock. Coraline starting to take off. Thing is I have 2 spots in the back of the tank that I cant really look into. Shouldn't have mounded I guess. So....
One day while looking into the side of the tank I noticed a white sack like thing hanging, bit smaller than a dime, but couldn't see what it was hanging from. couple days later it broke off and fell. Disappeared in a day or two. A week later another sack formed....
Well, now I think I can see where these are coming from. From the front of the tank I can see a spot "back" there that has a golf ball sized white growth that is getting larger(i can see it now as opposed to a week ago). I can only see a portion of it. I believe these sacks are falling from this.
This thing looks just like a golf ball. Same size and all.
A ledge rock that sits on top of this is now covered on the bottom with like a white spongy carpet that is creeping to the front rather rapidly.. I touched this stuff and it "smeared"....
To get to this golf ball I would have to take half my tank apart. I have a pearl bubble, frogspawn, long tenticle plate and daisy polyp as of now. All doin wonderfull.
Before I start dismantling, any one have any ideas? I remember a post on here where someone described a white sponge that kills reefs, or something to that effect. Can't find it now of course..
Help? Anyone with this experience?
Thx in advance
Jim
