Re: what exactly is this?
Its hard to tell from the pics.Will they scrape off?Do they seem to move?
My guess is either some type of algae or flat worms.Just a guess though.

Re: what exactly is this?
Looks like it might be a sponge to me, but can't say for sure.

Re: what exactly is this?
I had a few in my tank. I thought they were sponges. They are gone now.

Re: what exactly is this?
If you are concerned, try to blow it off with a turkey baster. If it comes off easily, likely some kind of algae, but, if it stays on, likely a sponge
