What even is this.

What is this? It’s slowly been getting bigger and bigger and my GSP on the same rock aren’t doing too great, and idk if it’s related. I’m tempted to just throw the whole rock out. It appears to be hollow or something?

It's a sponge. Good guy to have! Beneficial filter feeder. It's not effecting the GSP.

Oh wow I didn’t know sponges could look like that. Do you know what type of sponge it is?

Agree, definitely a sponge. Not sure on a actual ID of species though, there are many.

Thank you! Do you know if they are all similar care? And is there a way I could move it off that rock to somewhere more visible?

It's a filter feeder and they come and go through the years of tank life. Nothing special you need to do.
