migs Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 One of my sponges is starting to die... All other sponges look great. I am guessing my pump blew some bubbles at the tip when I changed the filter and now the tip is dying (just a white skeleton).. Should I cut the tip off or leave it?

Timfish Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 If it doesn't bother you I'd leave it alone but I don't think cutting it would shorten it's life much. What kind of sponge is it? I've had to remove finger and ball sponges during moves or redos and not had problems being exposed to air momentarily. The sponges that are volunteers on rock usually tolerate a fair amount of time out of water. I have Tethys sp. in one tank that have crawled to the waterline and are exposed for 10 - 15 minutes every week during cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
