Looks like the heads of two fish, close together and frozen in time, with so much fresh living algae to eat that they got stuck.

No room in your sump, display, or back compartment? One of the DROP models will probably fit.

Ok final results: Nobody was close at all. So will just pick one that I had thought about recently:
Nick Wecker on FB:
Tube shape design, maybe fits in a filter sock holder?
Will get the HOG.5...
This HOG3 or 3x or 3xx shows the Green Grabber® strings doing their best to hold on to this thick growth in saltwater. Without the strings, the growth would probably let go sooner. And,...

This SURF2(tm) or 2x show an earlier stage of growth on top, and a more filled in stage on bottom. RAINs are for saltwater only. Reach in and grab some :)

This brand new Green Grabber® screen is an "after market" alternative to replace the stock flat RAIN2 screen. This new screen has rails hand-cemented onto the flat screen, giving much more area for...
Deep red light, also known as ruby red or 660nm red, mixed with upflowing bubbles that rub rocky Green Grabber® textures, is what grows the algae in this DROP1.2x scrubber®

New air cooling vents on the sides of the RAIN4. The waterfalling water does a lot of the cooling inside the dome cover, but if the water is turned off these vents take over and allow cool air to...

Another RAIN4 filling in, with the tray under water (see the right side) which allows dead silent operation safely because the GEM5 lights are submersible. This particular RAIN4 needs the screen and...
