Google pineapple sponge or scypha sponge. Is that it? Those are pretty big though.

They're probably what Sarah said. I have them growing in my powerheads. They're q-tip or pineapple sponges. Here's a pic.

If I were in vegas, I would put money on biff. Sound very much like q-tip sponges also known as pineapple sponges.

Your all right! 4:20 that is a great pic and is exactly what it is....so friend or foe?

filter feeder. they come and go as the bioload changes.

So its okay to leave them be, should i pluck them out when i do a water change?

 

[bjohanson1234]

perfectly safe, actually help water quality because they eat some of the detrious and left over food before it starts to decay.
