what is this mass of tentacles?

fishgate · 09/12/2013, 12:25 PM

This has been slowly growing in my sump. It is around 5" long. Doesn't move just sits there. I think it is some sort of sponge but don't know what kind.

Any ideas?

+1 Tagging along for this one.... Some Class of Porifera?

Does it react to light/touch?

Songe?

It's hard to see from the picture but if there are 'mouths' in those tentacles, could be aptasia.

Does it react to light or feeding? Very interesting looking lol

It doesn't react to anything. It is like a plant.
