It comes with built-in security system. Heehee

Haha. Looks like a tree sponge now. Are the white areas in your pics not polyps?

Whatever it ends up being, I want one. I've never seen such vibrant yellow. ;Cat

Not the best of pics sorry, some of the white is stuff that has floated around the tank and stuck, I think some are hydroids?

That's a big security system.

Looks like you found it

Definitely a sponge, turning white usually means it's dying off, AWESOME Xmas tree rock by the way, love those guys!

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Yea, it's dying, sell now, while it has value. I know a buyer. Who's interested in it. Pays top dollar. Don't wait. Before sponge depreciates.

Nooooooo! Now I want to cry! My lawnmower Blenny keeps grooming it, would that upset it? Anything I can do to bring it back?
And in regards to the Xmas tree worms- I first saw them on Octonauts and fell in love. The first rock we got was the small one with about 15 worms, a Paly, 3 coral hermits and some coral barnacles. The second has over 40 worms, over 20 coral hermits, coral barnacles, micro brittle stars and stomatellas and I could keep going on. Just full of life.

Update- 4 months on. It’s still alive! Has not died off at all. Been relocated a few times but is happiest in shadow. Since I put it here it has started to grow.

 

[reef lover]

Awesome!! Thanks for the update!

I'll upgrade all other offers to a Great Dane and Two WHOLE cats. That's right, not pieces, but entire felines.

Lol! My pooch is a Great Dane x ridgeback and I have three cats, also whole, plus a Rex rabbit and two eastern blue tongues. I’m really not short on animals, or children (got three of them and a hubby ;) )if it ever reproduces (not sure how sponges do) but if somehow it does :)
