Hey everyone, noticed this brown hardish crust on the base of my hammer after it fell off its base. Is this a concern? We just picked it off outside the tank before re-gluing.

Can be protective mucus or low calcium. Assure calcium is at least 400 and flow not heavy on them which causes stress. Bright light will also upset them.
