Shroom sponge?

[P-Dub]

So I got one for you all. These recently popped up in my system. Haven't really added anything lately. They are populating mostly in my pipe organ coral. Any takers?

that's good one no clue ,but following to find out

hmm, really it look like a real mushroom ;Woot , but never saw anything like, it remind me only one leather coral which I don't member the name.
Take another shot under white light please, and look on it is it polyps like on them or nothing? If it's sponge you have to see where are the openings areas where the water enter and go out (only some rock sponges don't have this tubes like openings).
But photo Please

 

[P-Dub]

See the first photo. Definitely no polyps and not a leather. Funny, I always ask for photos with white light or color corrected filter and, that's with a color correction filter

 

[SHNICI]

hmm, sorry, can't get anything more from the photos, probably someone who know exactly what it is can help

Color correction filter and white balance adjusted to max. Ignore that aptasia

Caulerpa of some sort perhaps?

 

[SHNICI]

Sorry, can't help with that.
I'll follow to see what's it!

I agree this is a macro algae of some kind, most likely a calurpa species.

Im POSITIVE these are heads from a bounce mushroom. I had these amongst some zoas about a year ago and they slowly vanished.

Nope, not a caulerpa. I'm 99.9% sure it's a sponge. I just don't know what type. The feel and texture and fragility as well as the structure and decidedly not green, is what I'm making my basis on.

Respectfully disagree.... this is the beginning form of a species of calurpa...

I could only wish. No bounces in my system...

Not caulerpa for certain. That, I do know.

It only takes one dormant spore.... it could have been introduced a while ago and you would not have known. On a frag, in some fish water, it happens...
