May just be biofilm or some type of algae..
I've never had anything like that so I am not sure...
Do you have any snails in your tank??
They love that stuff.
And I loooove my mystery snail I have and he keeps all the algae and biofilm eaten!
Sorry I am not much help!
Hopefully somebody else will know more on this!

Here is a scary sight, new DW looked dreadful. 2 good sized mystery snails cleaned it right up it is normal but gross.
It was like gel. You could scrub it off.

Yes! I agree!
Having snails in my tank has made this a non issue for me!
Maybe consider a snail?

It’s completely normal for driftwood. Harmless to fish but non aesthetically appealing. Just scrub it off with a brush and put it back in if you don’t want it there [emoji106].
