The first two weeks I had my driftwood it had a white fungus/gel looking substance covering it. I know this is normal and it's happened to me before with driftwood.
However, I've just come back after being away from 10 days and my driftwood now has a mold looking substance on it. It's green in parts and white in parts. In addition, the part of driftwood that is out of the water clearly has mold on it.
Why did this happen? I left some shrimp hanging in a net in there to rot to keep it cycled (no fish in currently), which I'm assuming is the most likely candidate, although the shrimp isn't touching the wood.
Has this ruined the wood (I would prefer not, it was expensive) and can I get rid of it? It would be difficult to boil it's a very big piece.
