Bubbles on live rock / back wall?

[indiana812]

What are the bubbles on my back wall / live rock? Coral seems to be doing good, my RBTA is not as bubbly after a 50% water changer yesterday & two Zoas in the green star polyps have not came out in a few days. Any ideas?

If tank is new/newer- normal. Gas exchange and you can use a turkey baster and dissipate it loose quickly.

So to me, the tank is about 2 months old, I bought it already established with water, sand, & it was housing a mantis shrimp & chocolate chip sea star. I added a new piece of rock, all the coral + fish, AI Prime 16HD & even initially kept the water from the original tank owner. So would this be considered a newly established tank that I bought used?

somewhat. When you removed water and transported tank and set it back up, the glass and even some rock had a chance to dry and the bubble will form when you add water once again.
