 |  what is this????
Last week I noticed two small mushroom looking growths under some LR. Within a week they tripled in size. Ones as big as a nickel, and their both very bubbly in shape. Any thoughts or experience with this?

If this helps, I've seen them in person. They appear to be filled with water. They've grown alot since I've seen them. They don't look like a sponge or tunicate. It doesn't look like bubble algae in person. Hey Ray, Try touching them to see if they feel like a sponge or a bubble. | |

Nothing to add, but I just gotta point out that's some awesome rock! I wish mine looked that good.
