Id please these things are taking over my tank

[fishman7789]

I have these little white polyp looking thinks popping up all over the tank. The body is shaped almost like an unopened tulip with tentacles that seem to form a mouth at the tip there are about 1-2 cm in size I have attached some pictures but can't seem to get a good shot

Searched google and came up with pineapple sponges.. Can anyone confirm that's what they are from the pictures ?

Friend,,, what you need to worry about are these...

It's hard to see but are they little white spirals? I have those on my tank too. They don't move correct?

Never had a problem with them. I think they are little fans.

get a clean up crew and it will be gone

The ones in the pic are pineapple sponges. Harmless.

They can be annoying. I used to pluck them out of the DT eventually the subsided everywhere but my sump. At that point they kind of became part of the clean up crew. A CUC ain't gonna do anything for them. Just cut down you nutrients. The small white spiral thing on the glass are a type of worm.

I would say sponges

yea after some research and reading I've come to the conlusion they are definitely pineapple sponges which seem to be pretty harmless and will eventually self limit themselves and die off over time. i will cut down on feeding and see if that works. from what i have read they are a good sign in a newer tank and are pretty much harmless

and so far I've been lucky no aiptasia at all in my tank :sgrin:

Definitely looks like pineapple sponges to me. I had them, never seemed to bother anything. I had a ton at one point but now I see one every now and again. I wouldn't worry.
