Is it remove able or is the rock like bleached white?
 
Oh idk was going to say check ammonia but nvm if it's like an algae
 
Nope rocks been in there from day one
I think it may be an algae maybe need more
Snails or whatever
I checked all levels today and did water swap yesterday
 
Yea strange I'm going to bed now lol ill research tomarrow at work see if I can find anything
 
Couldn't find anything other then saying it could just be an algae sry :/
 
My friend told me it was coralline algae which is apparently is good
Not sure exactly what it is
 
Coralline algae is usually hard but if you can like shake the rock and it falls off or sucks off when you siphon it's something else
 
It only comes off if I scrape it it doesn't just fall off from the currents or anything
 
Oh okay yea it's prolly the coralline algae then good usually purple or green color that I've seen
