Reefing newb
I set-up my new 47 gallon aquarium with LR from two local reefers. The LR looks good, but there are a few things that I haven't seen before and need you all's help identifying...
First off, several pieces of LR had what seems to be some sort of white sponge on it. I scrubbed a lot of it off before putting it in the new aquarium because I was worried it might be harmful. Apparently, I missed some spots though. What do you guys think? Sponge? Harmless or Harmful?
I thought sponges died when exposed to air, and these survived a two-hour drive home. They also seem to be surviving cycling the new tank...
Also, is this a mussel, or what?
