OK I believe that those are mushroom corals. they just need some time before they open up. or they could be some tube worms tube. other wise I believe that you have nothing to worry about. _________________ 32g planted community

Never was worried...whatever it is...it is alive...I watch it open and close...like it's filtering water...still looking for a definitive answer... |

That would be a Sea Squirt(tunicate). They are harmless filter feeders. Sometimes they grow in awesome colors, unfortunately 99% of the time they are pretty drab. _________________ Don't buy the fish before you know the fish. |

Most of the ones around here are bright orange and yellow.
26bow, you are right, it is filtering water. Like SoS said, sea squirts are filter feeders. if you have a lot of live rock in the tank and not too much mechanical filtration, they'll probably live. They'd enjoy an occasional feeding, though. |

sorry about bad info but they do look like mushrooms that arent opened up. I have tons of sea squirts in m tank there white and they live in the caves. _________________ 32g planted community
