Hey,
I just put these pieces of manzanita in my tank and they’ve grown a pretty thick layer of slime on them. I only have a couple guppies in the tank right now, so I’m not really worried about any fish, but I’m curious what the slime is and if I should take them out and toss boiling water on them a few times. Thoughts?![IMG_3551.jpg IMG_3551.jpg](https://www.aquariumadvice.com/data/attachments/275/275256-be4e151231f7338a5e90f6af34c3ef63.jpg)
