What is this?

I have this growing in my tank....one group looks like this, and then there are stringy wet spaghetti like strings in various locations.

Sponge? Tunicates?

 

Do I need to worry?

Look in album named White Stuff

cant open either, from ur description sounds like it coul be spaghetti worms. From what I understand they are harmless and actually r beneficial. I have one in my tank, doesnt bother anyone.

Thanks... sorry about the pics... No matter what I do I cannot get pics uploaded to this site. I will try photobucket...

Yes... on photobucket - you can copy the bottom link (img....../img) and just paste it right in here.

 

This one looks like the grey/white sponge that can be a little annoying - but doesn't hurt anything:

 

I'm not so sure about this one, though - I haven't seen that sponge grow like mushrooms - fat on the top.

 

Need better pictures!

The pictures look like sponges and unless they cover your corals I would not worry about them. The "wet spaghetti" is probably just a Spionid worm and is harmless.

Thanks everyone. For now I'll leave it all alone. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't one of those things you need to deal with right away.
