Are you sure someone didn't put that in there to mess with your mind? :thinking:
Is it growing? is it as shiney as it looks in the picture?
One of the kids dropped a blue thing in there?
:notsure: No clue...sorry

The only other thing I could think of is maby some strange type of sponge or polyp. But the blue color?
I already searched my data base I made, and couldn't find anything even close to that thing.
I hope someone can identify it for you. I would like to steal the picture and add it to my files.
Good luck.......Tagg

Looks like Velonia to me - aka bubble algae !
Some folks think it's attractive ...... I don't
I would remove the rock from the tank, and pry it off without bursting it.
Toss it away and don't pry it off under water.
Get it out of there - you only have one now - you have a chance to keep "it" from spreading.
Where there's one - there may be more to come.

It is not a guarantee that they will go after anything, but it is possible. I had one green that was a nuisance, knocking over corals, chomping on fan worms, etc. Had another green that never bothered anything...last one was a red emerald, and he wreaked havoc. He chopped up a small lettuce nudi, clipped the frills on another, killed ALL of my fan worms, and mangled my blue tang while it slept. It has healed up now, but has no left side fin anymore.
First chance I got he was gone. Personally, I won't get anymore unless somehow my tank becomes overrun with algae.
Just keep an eye on them, and keep them spot fed. My tank is 100g, and I only had one in there.
