I have what I believe to be an Orange Lettuce sponge. I will try and get a good pic if it sometime today. A few days ago I noticed a small area of the sponge was lighter than the rest. Upon closer inspection, it looks as if something was eating it and it is recessed. Light is able to shine through this area. Over the last few days it has grown and there two other spots within a 1/4 inch of where the first one started. I work nights so I have not been able to sit and watch the tank. Last night I didnt have to go in until 2300 and was able to peak in once in a while with a head lamp that has a red lens cover. I was not able to observe anything on the area except what looked to be some type of pods crawling around that area of the sponge. Could these critters be eating the sponge? I looked online last night and was not able to find anything about natural sponge predators other that some nudibranchs, fish and turtles. So, Obviously it isn't either of the last two and I have not seen anything that resembles a nudi in my tank as of yet.
This is a new sponge that I have had for about a week and a half. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
alright, got a decent pick. You can clearly seen the holes, one of which is all the way through.
