I'm new to the forums here but found a lot of these topics to be very useful! I recently just got a purple sponge attached to a rock with quite a few cool things attached. I'm not quite sure what these are, but they look to me like possible zoas?

Any input welcome!

I agree.. looks like Zoas

 

[Shaddow_wolf169]

I see small holes in the rock need a better picture

 

[nvolkern]

There pretty small, hope this picture is a little better

At the upper left of this picture there's a little green dot, that's what I'm talking about

 

[Shaddow_wolf169]

Possibly or algae does it look like little blades on the outside

 

[nvolkern]

The algea looking stuff is dead sponge, went through a rough patch and lost a lot of it. The things I think are zoas are little stalks

 

[Shaddow_wolf169]

Let it grow and find out I can't say yes or no.

The 'little green dot' appears to be a half closed zoanthid/ paly

You may want to brush off the dying sponge from the rock

I just moved my power head and it helped get some off, thanks!

I also just noticed these tube guys. Possible feather dusters?

Yup
