To be honest, they are just litter! They fell in to the tank, along with the Ceramic bulb holder ages ago and because of the tanks size, and the fact it is raised off the ground, I have'nt been bothered to fish them out. He plays with them anyway. He is a bit like a Dolphin!
Another pic taken earlier. Sorry about the flash reflection.
