Hi,
We are very new to marine aquariums amd have had oir first one set up and running for just over 2weeks. Its 275 litres and we bought live rock from a mature tank. We have something weird growing on one of the rocks its lretty much coated the top of the rock in a yellowish substance and now jas weird tubular type thing sticking out. Ive added a photo so you can see. Of you look along the back of the rock you can make out 3 of the tubular things. Can anybody tell me what it is? Good or bad? If it needs removing and if ir does how?
Thankyou

It looks like a sponge of some sort. Generally these are harmless, but there are certain varieties that can smother corals if your not careful. Just keep an eye on it.
