I was going to say foraminiferan but the green base threw me off, unless the green is due to algae growth? In such cases, a photo would be required....
Its actualy a sponge. I've found them to be very common on the rocks that I collect here in the Philippines. A Hitch Hikers Guide to the Reefs...
Am sitting here with numerous possibilities in mind, making it pretty much a guessing game. Might you going through the worm section of my hitch...
I agree. Chuck
If I may, I use a quick, simple "bubble trap" for my very small tanks as well as for use on the display tank's battery powered air pump during power...
