ID Yellow growth on LR

StaticM · 04/14/2014, 02:13 PM

Hi Guys

so I was taking of the black backing of my Boyu TL550 and I was having a look at the chamber with my LR in it and a saw this on one of my pieces of LR

I did some searching and the only thing I could come up with is yellow sponge.

If its yellow sponge I read that its not something to worry about?

Any advice would be great thanks

It looks like a sponge to me as well. Usually there's nothing to worry about, but there are some varieties that can smother corals & such, so keep an eye on it.
