Growth on Live Rock

Hey all,

I've been reading the forums for a while, just never registered. However, I have a question. I have a 12g Aquapod, and it has been in cycle for about a week so far. My local fish store gave me live sand and a live rock for the tank. However, I have noticed that the rock has gotten many growths on it... it varys from white spongy stuff to black leafy things. Sorry for the bad descriptions ;) . My question is simple- Do i leave these growths on the rock, or take them off? I'm just wondering if they are harmful. Thanks!

Welcome to nano-reef.com! :welcome:

The groths are probably just sponges,perfectly harmless but during cycling they can die and smell like a dead bloated skunk in arazona.The leafy things are probably some type of algea.Pics would help.
