View Full Version : WHat is this film?
This appeared overnight on my live rock. What is it?:confused:
I have some white encrusting sponges that look just like that - all that popped up in only one day??
yeah, I put the rock in yesterday around 4 pm and when I got up this morning about 7 am it was there

I looks like the bacterial sludge that forms over shrimp tossed into tanks to cycle them. That is crazy that all that appeared overnight!

Does it rub off easily? I'm thinking some sort of bacterial scum, but even that should take a while to develop.
Another possibility is that it was something that deflated during transport, and only became noticeable when it reinflated.
Clutching at straws...

Can it be scraped off? Is it sticky? Can parts of it be removed while other parts seen unaffected? I am just wondering if it is one organism or if it is bacterial growth.
It starting to reduce in size, and turned white. Holes are starting to appear in it. I think whatever it may be is decomposing.
