Sponge control

[robharold]

I have an over abundance of these little white stalking sponges throughout my tank. Will they harm corals? What can I do to eliminate some of them?

I am more than willing to add a fish that eats them as long as nothing else is in danger. I do not have any decorative sponges to worry about.

Thanks.

Cant you just take them out with your hands? Or no?

 

[robharold]

I can take some out but they are wrapped all around the rock work. I am mostly concerned with whether or not they will harm the surrounding corals.

they are kinda ugly too.

I dont think they will hurt anything, i would just do a search online there has to be something that will eat them!

 

[oceanparadise1]

I think the only way they would hurt something is if they grow over it, other then that i dont see any problems.

They are a natural means of filtration

 

[oceanparadise1]

That is very true, maybe you can throw them into your sump? Or put then in your fuge?

Ps when are you gonna frag those red zoas? LOL

 

[robharold]
