    Cant tell for sure on most but the bottom center white thing is a pineapple sponge. A harmless filter feeder. My sump is full of the and have a few in my dt as well.:)

    Not at all imo. And you'll find that they are mobile. I have one in my DT that has made it's way from the bottom corner to the top up by my overflow.:)
