So this thing... any idea?
Popped up about three weeks ago, now about 4 to 5 inches across. It's firm like a jelly fish, basically just full of water. Looks like a crumpled bag stuck to a rock. Thinking maybe a sponge of sorts, or just some odd fungus of some kind. I plan on carefully pulling it out soon but wanted to share the pics and try to identify it first since I've been in the hobby for 15 to 20 years and I've never seen anything quite like it before. It's interesting... whatever it is. If I come down tomorrow to find it's out of the tank and the dog is missing I'll know I waited too long!
Growing fast whatever it is! It's in an established (6 months) 300 gallon mixed reef with stable parameters. Some hair and bubble algae but nothing too crazy, except this blob that seems to have found it's way into the tank via a frag recently.
