Default tiny white growth on live rock

8 week old tank. a few snails, and hermit crabs. no fish or other inverts yet.

there are several of these small white growths appearing on my live rock. they all appear to prefer to grow in the shade, as they are in my caves. any ideas?

thanks in advance for your help.

Default Re: tiny white growth on live rock

These are just guesses but my guess would be either....

A liver sponge (although the top of it doesn't lend it to look like it)(but the body sorta looks like my liver sponge).

Truncate. Could be a truncate. Just my guesses.
