Its a blue sponge Haliclona spp., a few guys here had it take over their entire tank, if its the same one. Nice but not worth it taking over and smothering all your corals. @Alan can confirm.
thanks for the reply it looks realy good , didnt i meet you at perkys a while back you were collect a nennie?
Agreed! I have it in my tank and it's rearing its ugly head everywhere. One of the local reefers gave it to me. He bought it from someone in JHB. I thought it was you.... obviously not though.Rakabos? you are going to curse that sponge given time, it seriously takes over and is not worth having IMO. it is a photosynthetic sponge and can be exposed to air with no issues.

Bits seem to break off and get lodged in new positions as well.
Yes thats right, you were looking for a skimmer iirc?
yip thats right, eventually picked up a second hand TS4
@2time@Dane G, I know where you saw that, if you do decide to go for it, just make sure you leave it there for a few days before you purchase it. Sponges tend to not do well there for some reason.
So when are we gonna see pics of the build and not just the skimmer?
