Pineapple sponges. They are good guys, filter feeders

Pineapple sponges. Perfectly harmless filter feeders. Common in overflows and sumps. Sign of a healthy system

LOL they are not that gross. Simple invasion of a harmless sponge. Typically live in the cryptic zones and die back as the tank ages.

Oh thank Gawd!! Haha after a run in with velvet I didn’t want to hear anymore bad news.

I do have one more question since you seem to be helping me out a lot lately. I have these little white things on the back of my tank. They don’t move, the snails don’t seem to touch them and just today I notice very small blue things that litterally look like insects. Can’t really get a better pic though.

Just based on location I’m gonna guess spirorbid worms.

White things are likely spirobid worms. Also harmless filter feeder. If they get in the way, just scrape them off. I clean them off my front and side glass but leave them on the back glass.

Awesome. Thank you all for your help. I will research a little more in depth next time but I really do appreciate the quick responses.
