2 weeks ago I received my ocean love rocks via overnight (less than 18 hours from order to in tank curing shipped in water). I’ve been curing for two weeks and my ammonia is at .04 and has never been above .25, so I am in good shape. Lots of really cool hitchhikers, even set up a six gallon for the Mantis that we found. I put 30 pounds on a Nuvo 20. I think this white stuff was there all along, but perhaps it wasn’t. We have multiple tanks and maybe I missed this. Anyone know what it is? I’ll post one pic here of a close up and then I’ll repost other pics next. TIA

Yup dead for sure. I had the same happen to my good ol' real Fiji live rock back in the late 90's and my cat knocked the light into the water and the breaker didn't trip. All the colors turned white as I see in the photos. I was never able to grow it back. Something with electricity and water didn't play nice lol.
