Just noted via the reflection in my wedge tank that something has turned up near the sand in my 52, about the color of a ball-shaped and yellowish Irish potato---in the way Irish potatoes can be brownish yellow. I'd estimate the size (given corner tanks and bowfronts magnify a bit) at 2 inches or a little more, maybe as much as 3.
The tank has run since January. It wasn't there when I set up.
However I started with someone's discarded live rock, and it was live. I have pink encrusting sponge, and inside a hole in the rock, a definite yellowish sponge about end-of-thumb-size.
What conditions favor it? What consequences if it suddenly bites the big one and crashes?
How big does it get?
And does anybody have an idea of what its species is?
