SRC Member Qxnviolet Posted February 3, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hrmz, i would guess its some form of sponge? Maybe bleached ones. I had a hard time clearing them off my LR when i 1st got them....pretty harmless.

SRC Member mUAr_cHEe Posted February 4, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted February 4, 2006 Personal experience, I think they are quite harmless. Only grows in those corners where they are poor flows or alot of decaying... NO3 plentiful... Shoud be ok if you leave them alone. Adds texture to the LRs.

The slug ate up the sponges? What abt your corals? Does it feed on them? Quote My Newbie Tank Thread My Blog All pics taken with CanoN!~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
