Q tip sponge info

[ahiggins]

hey all!
This little guy popped up in the sand today. It looks like a q tip sponge.
1-is that what it is?
2- good or bad?
3- should I pull him out?

1. yes.
2. meh
3. it doesn't make a difference. Whether you pull it out or leave it, there will more than likely me more. They are fine when they are single, but can be an eyesore if their numbers are allowed to climb.

hmm...I heard theyre driven by excess nutrients. True? Which is weird because I only have a mystery wrasse in there that eats my pods lol
