This is a sponge. he is rough It smelled strong right out of the box and soaking it in a vinegar solution didn't improve it much, so I'd recommend airing it out a bit before using it in the aquarium. It COULD work without it, but I wouldn't risk my fish's lives out of impatience. Definitely recommended, despite this limitation.
