    I have long white sponges between the heads of my frogspawn. I am able to see them bc the tentacles are retracted since its sleepytime.

    Not a terrible emergency, but nevertheless, I have them identified and am ready to extract them if needed.

    Thanks all knowing interwebz

    If it were to bother the frogspawn at all, the sponge would be the one in danger ;) Not too much out there with a more potent sting than a member of the euphyllia
