I cant expand the picture to see what you are talking about. I would upload the picture to photobucket and the click the icon that looks like a picture and copy and paste in the direct link.
Haha, it's funny you should ask about photobucket, i could never get it to work and finally a friend walked me through Flickr. If you have a computer geek friend, him or her could walk you through it .
If its a puff ball with a little crown at the top, it is a q-tip sponge, also known as a pineapple sponge. Google it. It should bring up some pictures for you.
