Was in my LFS today in London and they had the wierdest things!
crawling about the tank were lumps of multcolred sponge I had to look several times as i thought i was going daft!
when i looked on the other side of the glass there was a kinda of snail buried in the sponge/ or the sponge had grown all over them. They only had 2 so i snapped them up one with a lilac sponge, the other with a small amount of red sponge on it.
They are completely amazing! appaently they had loads at the suppliers so hes gona get me 10 next week all with different coloured sponged on!
Now sponges seem to thrive in my tank as do inverts in general. I was wondering exactly what are they? does anyone have any ideas?
Please help!
 
It's not uncommon for some snails to carry sponges, algae, hydroids, etc. on their shells. A picture would be nice but may not be enough to get an id if the shell is completely hidden.
