    That depends on what you think it is. Growth it is. It appears to be a mushroom possibly.

    As long as it is good growth i don't care lol just excited loll. Thought maybe a brain. Almost killed the tank when i got it a week ago and just starting to get it back to healthy. Still work to be done on my levels but much better. Also believe i have a baby bristle worm.tiny stem with small circle tenticles at the top. took a minute to find it.

    As in a stationary tube into which the worm retracts occasionally? That would be a featherduster. Bristle worms are motile and have a row of bristles on each side that run the entire length of the body. :)

    I agree with 2in10 looks like a mushroom. I really like the blue ones.

    I would just let it be for now. Mushrooms detach and float around until they find a good spot.

    Sometimes it seems like it takes forever to cycle, stock and hurry up and watch it grow. Once you get the tank completely settled and add some fish you like it will be more enjoyable.
