Abundance of Pineapple Sponges

[Celticlamb]

How do I eradicate Pineapple Sponges? Will a six-line wrasse eat them?

They aren't bad. I'm assuming your tank is not very old. They will go away on there own when your tank ages.

This is Somewhat detracting to my Tank

Not to worry. With good water quality they will vanish.

A couple months ago I had some growing near my frog spawn. I did see some inside my canister filter as well. No ill effect, but as a precaution I took apart the filter to remove them. They are easy to remove and, as previously mentioned, they seem to fade away with time and will die if exposed to air (if you can do that). In a way, they are natural filters so if they aren't growing evasively then I normally just let them be. I am not particularly fond of them (same as coralline algae), but I haven't completely eradicated them because they aren't bad in my humble opinion.

They go away in time...I only get them now when I dose vodka and there are prolific colonies of bacteria in my tank.
