Re: What is this
Can you describe what it feels like and if it has any reaction? Its hard to tell from the pic. I would assume harmless if you are sure its not calupera or reactive (hydriod). Trying to help my best...

Re: What is this
Isn't it just a:
Foraminiferans - The branching white type are usualy mistaken for a sponge, if you look closely you can see what looks like thin hairs at the ends of the stalks, these are the Rhizpodia which collect food particles, they also can be red and are usualy only a single stubby branch no more than 1/4 inch tall, which at first led me to believe they were a type of branching coraline algae. As you can see, this animal classification has many members which do not resemble each other much. Click on the link for a detailed article on this family group.

Yes, Foraminiferans is the name I was looking for but couldn't remember.
