So my QT tank has developed this white goop. Is this a fungas? Algae? I've never seen anything white like it. It grows pretty quickly. Any ideas? I'm glad I'm not seeing it in my main tank! *knock on wood*

Picture attatched.

EDIT: sorry about the duplication, there isn't much indication on when the uploaded picture is successful?

It was always a bit white. There is some white stringy stuff on the fake coral that looks like it may be related.

I am going to remove it today and I have removed it before. Is it just food that isn't getting eaten? There's nothing underneath it and when I remove it it turns to almost nothing.
