What are these weird little white things?
Hi all,
In my tank i have several of these little white things, they seem to be getting fatter everyday...! What are they? I have a sea cucumber, these look like little versions?? Any ideas? Thanks, James.

I believe they are Pineapple sponges, they come and go in my tank.

I have a ton of them on the back of the rocks in my tank. Anything that wants to help me filter the water is more than welcome in my tank (so long as its not something that eats corals!)
