What will eat these?

[andersoned14]

Is there any fish or anything else I can do about those little white sponges that seem to grow on everything? It does not have to be reef safe they are in a FOWLR.

The Q Tip sponges? Why do you want to get rid of them?

+1 Erin,they are harmless,but an Angel sure would gobble em up.....mine did,now i have none

You can just pick them off. They come off easily by hand. An angel should take care of them too, like Nemo said.

they are starting to cover more than I want them to, the back glass and most of the rocks have them on.

but an Angel sure would gobble em up

A flame would do it, correct or is there a certain one that is better. Once it starts eating these would it also go for frozen once they are gone.

are they q-tip sponges, or do they look like little white dots all over the place (possible with small yellow dots in the center)?

Before you purchase ANY fish you shoul have the LFS feed it to show you its eating.

pretty sure sponges, I also have the small white dots that are hard to get off the glass I think these are some kind of snail with a shell?

Those were what I thought you were talking about, from what I've been able to find out, those dots are nerite eggs sacs.

Q-tip Sponges are a sign of good things. Leave them be they add to natural filtration.
