What is this

[Rockhound]

Its in my sump. Dont see any in display

Appears to be a harmless spaghetti worm.

 

[Uzidaisies]

Actually, maybe not. I don’t see any segments on its body. Oh wait, maybe I do. Yeah, I’d say spaghetti worm.

 

[RedReefer]

Spaghetti worm. Nothing to worry about

 

[Rockhound]

I think its a sponge?

 

[Rockhound]

So they are harmless? Are they beneficial?

 

[Rockhound]

Also have a few more. And little bugs all over which im assuming are pods finally

Spaghetti worm ????
Its proferan sponge and can become invasive. Pull if you can or loosen with a dental pick. Next to it is pineapple sponge- harmless

 

[Rockhound]

Thanks

 

[Uzidaisies]

For some reason I thought I saw segments in that first picture lol. Can’t find any information on anything called Proferan. There are Porifera sponges, but is there any information available on whatever species this is that I could read?

 

[Uzidaisies]

Have you touched them? Out of curiosity, are they hard and/or brittle?

 

[Rockhound]

Have not touched them. They dont move and they have a pink tint to them. Might be the light though. I saw some pics of sponges like them but no name was captioned

If it's not moving then it is sponge
