Once when replacing some old rockscape for diver collected rock, I noted numerous cryptic sponges on
”dark side” of the rock.

75G display on top and 30G cryptic refugium with mud filter on bottom.

Last picture is 30G fishless sponge tank.

What is the white stuff growing on sump wall? I’ve been told algae and also suggested it was a sponge. Is it invasive, good filtration? Should I let it be or get rid of it?????
Perhaps mini feather dusters which to me are good bioindicators of a healthy system.
