Fuzzy/Fluffy White Stuff Growing on Manzanita Driftwood...?

[PaiLum92]

(Not sure if this is the right section, if not, can someone move it? Thanks..)

Just bought some Manzanita driftwood for my tank, it sank in just 3 days. So I’m happy about that. Though, it’s got some fluffy, fuzzy white stuff growing on it now.

Is this stuff safe for my tank? Safe for fish?

If not, how do I get rid of it, and make sure it doesn’t come back?

Thanks guys..

Can’t really see it in the pictures, but its white and fuzzy(ish).

it's a mold or fungus. I've always had snails to eat it on the few times it's shown up in my tanks.

That would be my guess.I have had it pop up on pieces that I have had for years and I could not get an answer as to what it is.I have been told that it is harmless but I don't like the looks of it.It even came back after removing and scrubbing the wood so I no longer use the wood.

Happens to my malaysian driftwood also, seems to harmless.

It happens. Usually just disappears on its own. Some fish will eat it.

What kind of snails are they?
