So, rocks from kp aquatics. . This popped up after almost two months in the tank. Wasn't the originally and had the rock chilling in a brute for 4 months before putting in my tank. Not really worried more that super curious.

Yellow, at the center of the image?

Looks like a sponge to me. Filter-feeder that can become invasive on very rare occasions, and may host a wonderful community of helpful bacteria. (It won't need a pineapple...)

After having my kp aquatics rock for over a month I found out I had a brittle starfish hiding. I also got tons of black, red, orange sponges and few small feather dusters. Makes me wonder what will show itself at the 2 month mark

That's cool! Maybe even longer.
