Thank-you...I will be doing a water change tomorrow so I'm going to take the rock out and try to brush it off. I'm worried about the nem's but I'll try not to stress them too much. I'll post if I can get any better pictures.

Can't tell by your photos. I have some sponges that are gray, and, black, yellow, orange, purple, clear. Is it porous or can you see any siphons? Of course sponges are filter feeders and are not bad.

It was smooth looking...I didn't see any pores...I used toothbrush and it came off pretty easy...I hope it doesn't grow back. Now I'm waiting for my nems to get back to normal for them.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
