What is this

The pic isn't great I'm sorry about that. I bought a mushroom rock and it has several kinds on it but what is this. It is kinda spiky and has like hairs coming out of the points it isn't hairy though

Here are pics of the whole thing

Some of them are turning white though

Nice sroom rock.. sorry I don't see the item you are talking about... some help locating it maybe.

EDIT: is it those green sponges...?? it is hard to see if they are sponges.. could be.

I'm not sure but yeah the green spiky looking things I thought it might have been a type of shroom. one has actually turned white

Yeah, it could be a sroom.. do they breathe like some sponges? ... I love srooms...that would make sense on that rock. How does it respond to light?

I don't know much about sponges. I think they may be my next adventure in my tank... I need to do some research on them.

EDIT: seeing they didn't fan out and take their space in the light.. I still lean towards sponges... but I am NOT a sponge expert.

BTW, I love the blue/pink srooms, really healthy.

SOMEBODY smarter???
