So I was doing some maintenance on my 180 sw which is basically rock and fish only. I purposefully killed off all the coral because I did not want to spend the time or money to keep them alive for the tank here. They were basically a bunch of mushroom and polyps that came with rock from other peoples tanks that I bought.
Well today I noticed about 5 places in the tank where this stuff is growing and I was wondering if anyone had any idea what this might be. The texture is similar to that of a facial sponge and it can be pulled off the rock. I just wanted to see if anyone had any idea as to what this was.
I also found a couple of crawlies on the bottom of the piece so I thought I would take a pic of them too.
a very fast moving starfish
and a pod.
I am glad to find the crawlies because I know the tank is healthy. Yet, I am very curious as to what this white stuff is.
On a side note, I was doing some filter maintenance on my home 75 and in the filter media I found a bristle worm on one of the bio cubes. only 2 inches long so I threw it in the tank.
