I have had two "XL" pieces of Malaysian driftwood in my tank for over a year now. Recently, I've noticed areas on one of the pieces covered in black. I'd say it reminds me of being burnt piece of wood. I'm going to try to scrub it off during my next water change. The driftwoods were LFS bought and I boiled them in a large pot prior to introducing to my tank a year ago.
My water parameters are fine (0, 0, ~10ppm nitrate). Been doing some reading, but nothing definitive. Appreciate if anyone could educate me on what this is, and how to address, if anything? I'll try to take a snapshot tomorrow. Again, reminds me of burnt wood or tar on wood. Thanks.
