I have a 75g with a 30g sump and skimmer that is under 12 months old. Last week I noticed some pineapple sponges in my sump, and today I found some other weird things. I’ve been told the one I’m my skimmer tube might be a spaghetti sponge, but I’m having trouble finding information on them. The other things on the walls of the sump I have no idea, and then my husband found this other thing floating on the surface of the water in the DT (did not appear to be independently mobile). Please help me figure this out.

A type of Sponge? I’ve got something similar I believe in the dark corner of my frag tank. I would need more pics to verify.

Maybe I’m looking at the wrong “thing”...In first pic are you talking about the white stem looking things or to left of that?

The white stem-like things. There is another thing to the left that’s attached to the sump wall that I have another picture of.

I can try to get a better picture. It’s kinda rough since it’s in the adjustment tube of my skimmer. They definitely look similar.

If it is the same, it’s a sponge and if you give it more light it will recede
