Hello everyone,
I posted the same topic however, the photos I was able to get were not that great. I have much better photos this time with a better description.
There is a reddish algae on a live rock. It does not blow off with a turkey baster. It feels slimy to touch. I can brush it off but before continuing doing so I would like to identify it to ensure it will not spread or harm anything. When I scrape it off with my finger (you can see the areas I scraped off, the rock shows. I did so to show the contrast between the rock and the whatever this is) I think it comes off looking kind of like dust. It grows over everything. Luckily it is only on one rock, I want to get on top of it before it spreads and frankly to make my zoa's happy again.
Any ideas? The photos are decently magnified. How do I get rid of it?
Thanks in advance.
