What the????

Hello all, yes this is another "can you ID this thing" thread. So here it is boys and girls, What the heck is this

I think its some sort of sponge but i would like to confirm. Sorry if the pic is a little blury ill try to get a better one when i have a chance.

Thanks.

 

Oh yeah, Its about 3/4 inch long, and its hard, i poked it .

 

:bouncylau

Okay...I feel better now. It may be a type of sponge, but it's very difficult to tell from the picture. Do you see any openings or cavities in the body mass?

 

No openings or cavities GraviT. The red thing in the center of it is not part of it, its either a petaloconchus or a Vermetid gastropod not sure yet since its small. but i have both in my tank so... Anyways the thing is smooth black with darker round spots on it (darker black!!! )

 

i would say its a type of sponge i have some that have come out that color ive also had white, yellow, orange, and qtip sponges

 

I had one that seamed to be the same thing. It was not a sponge. It moved, albeit very slowly ... like some corals might. It had the texture of an encrusting soft coral, though I don't know what kind.

I wish I could tell you more, but I got nervous and removed it from my system pretty quickly. Does my description sound similar to your experience?

 

doesnt seem to be moving although i have discovered it three days ago.i have not touch it ...i just poked it with a glass scraper.

 

When I say moved, it seamed to "creep" about an inch over the coarse of a week or so.

 

yes it moves but i don't want to take it out before knowing what it is and if it will be a threat to anything....anyone has got a clue what it could be???

 

I would just leave it alone and monitor it. That's the best you can do, everyone seems to be stumped. Also, try to get a clearer shot and you might want to reference wetwebmedia.com.
