Clubby Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hi I got some live rock and it had a white crusty patch on it, which I assumed was something that had died. Over the last week the white crusty layer softened up and fell of leaving a brown patch with lots of small circles, now each circle seems to be growing something from the middle and looks like this.... What is it? Thanks Ian Link to comment
