Can anyone figure out what this is? It's on the base of the magnetic frag holder that one of my torches is in. It's clear/white and has a weird structure. There's almost a tube looking piece sticking out a bit. I thought maybe snail eggs, but it doesn't look exactly like that to me.

Looks like a sponge!
 
Hope everyone has had a good New Years Eve day. I spent some time smashing rocks & drilling some wholes 🤣

I plan to add some new rock into my tank when my Frags arrive and thought it would be a good idea to pre-drill wholes to place the frags into to make my life easier.

That's going to be so helpful when you go to mount your corals. Brilliant!

Hey John (@kingranch2003 ) My work to raise my dKH went this way:

on 12/22 I had 8.5 dkh and 8.0 ph
on 12/24 I had 9.3 dkh and 8.25 ph
yesterday testing showed the same as 12/24
 
Gotcha! I think since im not sure if it's good or bad, ill just pull the frag mount put and scrub it off.
Yeah John that’s what i would do . Even if it is ok I wouldn't want to look at it .
