   |  What is this?
So, I had to put my hands into the tank and move our Long Tentacle plate which was inching up on one of our open brains.
While I was working on the tank we notice a small round nodule type "thing." It looks to be greyish in color and apperas to have a mucous type slime coating. It is very difficult to see as it is in the middle of the tank under some rock. It appears to be stationary but rocking, probably with the flow. It also appears to have one eye like opening. It is about the size of a pencil eraser.
Any thoughts? I was thinking maybe an egg sac of some sort... _________ 72 gallon bowed 150lbs LR 60 lbs LS

As Bruce stated, without seeing a picture, it seems to be some sort of tunicate or sponge, as tunicates have two openings where sponges don't. _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.
