I was moving some stuff around in the tank and found these little yellow squiggle blobs on my zoas. Does anyone know what they are?

Sponges. You can use tweezers and pluck them out or leave them if they aren’t bothering the zoas.

Harmless filter feeders.

Awesome! Thanks so much! Do you know if they will they get very big?

Are your zoas opening at all? I see lots of white dots. Looks sort of like zoa pox to me. A type of fungus.

They may spread a bit but those won’t get much bigger and will most likely fade away.

How long has your tank been up and running?

About 6 or 7 months.

They have been opening good. I had the rock out of the water when i took the picture. It may just be some sand. The sand was stirred up some when i took the rock out for the picture

Ok. Your tank is still relatively new. Sponges for have always been most common in the first year or so.

If you don’t mind them, you can leave them.
