KFC Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I got new LR a few days ago and I am starting to notice a weird growth. I use the word growth because I am sure its not dead coraline, which most people would guess. It's hard to descrbie but I'll do the best I can. It sort of looks like frosting, hard snow and slush all at the same time. It's about 3 inches in diameter right now. If I look close I can see small strands. I can scrape the white stuff off very easily. I personally like the looks, but I want to make sure it's not harmful to my tank. Thanks, Mr Weeyagi Link to comment
Mondo Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 One of my new LR pieces is doing the same thing, its just a bright white patch about 3" long and 1/2" wide on the top of the rock. Link to comment
harbingerofthefish Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Not sure what it is, but I htink I have the same stuff on the underside of several of my polyp rocks. Probbally some form of squirt or something. Doesn't seem to be doing any harm, so I'm not worried. Link to comment
Lebowski Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I've seen that stuff.. I thought it was some sort of sponge, might be. It's wierd....doesn't spread alot though. Link to comment
CUNROE Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I have the same stuff. Mine covers about 1/3 of my rock. I hope its not bad stuff. I figured it was just one of the stages the LR goes through. Chris Link to comment
jackdp Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 It sounds like some kind of white sponge...they come and go with LR and usually grow on undersides away from bright light...not bad at all. Link to comment
