Well after a solid year and a half, my tank has its first legitimate nuisance. I have been trying to fight it with just water changes, but it doesn't appear to be helping much. Any idea what it is and what I can do about it?

I believe it's a type of sponge, I don't see the need to get rid of it unless you absolutely hate the looks of it

 

[ninjamyst]

get rid of it if it starts to grow over corals. should be easy to pull off with tweezers

Looks like a sponge to me.

Oh, well in that case, nevermind! It appears to only be growing in the shaded parts of the rock work so I doubt it will be an issue with my other coral. Thanks!
