Sorry, I'm full of noob questions tonight and they all come right after I ask and post thelast one :hmm5:
What is the white spiderweb looking stuff on my LR in the first pic and in the second, what is the tube looking this attached to the rubble?

The tube thing looks like a sea squirt or a type of tube spong.

+1... Yellow sponge... Cant really see the web in the first pic. The sponge will not hurt anything.

It would be the white round blob in the lower center area of the pic. You can even see some sand sitting on it.

sponges generally have several pores or tubes and asymmetric shapes (there are exceptions like scypha[pineapple] sponges..but most of what shows up in the tanks are odd shaped. the yellow thing fits that description, as it looks shapeless and looks to have a few pores.

tunicates[sea squirts] ALWAYS have 2 tubes, inlet and outlet. some tunicates are buried in the rock, some are on top.

the circled blue thing, at the top looks like it has a tube straight up and a tube to the left. if there was only the barrel shaped upper 1/3 of that, that would look a lot like a tunicate.
not sure what the other lower 2/3 added in makes it...cant see it in enough detail to make a sure call. and if there are more than 2 pores, then it most likely is also a sponge
