Both look like mushrooms to me. Were they hitchhikers?

 

[j21kickster]

blue striped mushroom-Discosoma striata

 

[misty7850]

No they weren't hitch hikers, I bought them, they were both on the same rock and one decided to hide under the rocks. I knew they were mushrooms just not the kind. Thanks alot..

4. A white encrusting sponge

6. Bleached corraline- Possibly cyanobacteria for the black growth
7. Live rock now- a dead coral
8. looks like a pink encrusting sponge to me

5: Big bubble under rock.
Is this bad ?, what can I do to get rid of the bubles ?
6. Bleached corraline- Possibly cyanobacteria for the black growth
Is the cyanobacteria bad ? and if so how to get rid of please.
9. Spirorbidae worms- they are shelled filter feeders
are they good or bad ?
and thanks j21kickster, as usual you are most helpful...

:jumping: :yes:

Get rid of bubbles by blasting with turkey baster or just rotating rock (if nothing on it)
Not cyno, looks like black sponge - harmless (cyno is deep red/purpleish)
Dots on glass - harmless filter feeders.

 

[j21kickster]

not all cyano is red/purple in color- there is black cyano- if it comes off easy it is not a sponge. try to clean it off- it it brushes off easy, thats all you have to do- cyano grows in low flowing areas with ligh levesl of DOCs
Spirorbidae worms- are not threat to a tank, just to visual appeal if you dont like them

 

[viet-tin]

Black stuff looks like sponge to me. Cyano is slimey not velvety.

 

[j21kickster]

i have to agree- on a closer look- it looks like a black encrusting sponge- which is not harmfull to the tank
