Got this web-like stuff that started showing on my dead rocks about 4 days ago. Noticed yesterday that it is spreading quite a bit on these rocks. My tank has a combination of LR & dead rock, LS and aragnite sand, no fishes yet. The tank just started cycling about a week ago...shortly after these webs started appearing. Nothing seems to have come out of the webs yet...and I can't tell that anything is living inside of them. They really look look spider webs...underwater spider webs, its really strange. I have snapped some shots with a camera that has crappy up-close shots, so you probably cannot even see them, but I tried.

Regards,
Brad

Yup, all the white stuff...with the picture it is really hard to tell that looks web-like but it does, web-like is about the best description I can give it. So...encrusting sponge...cool!
Thanks
 
Is/was it fuzzy stuff?
Is it still around, or change into something better?
I have a few spots of soemthing similar and am curious..

It appeared to be fuzzy.

It is gone now, and I don't know if anything came from it. During a water change they came off very easily when I was cleaning the rocks.
