Hi! I’m unsure if someone can ID it under the current lighting, but I think it’s a sponge of some sort; would it be possible to attach a photo under normal “daylight” settings?Can anyone help to find out what these pink slug-looking things are?
I just found about three but not sure what they are.

May be a tiny sea cucumber. Are there little feathery things on the white end?

What is this pink slime (after Carbon dosing)? What should I be doing?
The No3 has now come down to almost undetectable. It was approx. 40 ppm and has taken its course over few months time. I have now cut down the dose to half and perhaps I'm still overdosing as I found pink slime all over my sump. I don't know if I'm supposed to leave it there or pull it out...

So after hunting threads, it seems like a bacterial colonial growth, although I’m not certain myself.
Take a look at the link above; it looks similar to what you have?

I was just gonna say after clicking on this and reading the OP…What is this pink slime (after Carbon dosing)? What should I be doing?

I get some pink slime here and there from carbon dosing. It’s usually in the sump or skimmer. I think it’s very possible that could be what this is.
