so I have had an issue with a mysterious clear slime growing on my rocks.. It isn't hurting anything but I'm sure it could if it gets any worse.. The slime is only on the two pukani dry rocks I added about 3 months ago.. It has to be related to the rocks because my other live rock doesn't have any slime!! Please help me figure this nightmare out!! Here is a picture of the slime when left unattended for a week or so!!

Are you dosing carbon? I ran into something similar when I started dosing vodka and added to much.
 
Is your top off water uncovered? it happened to me in my tank a while back, i found that it was growing in my top off water then getting pumped into the tank. Someone suggested covering my topoff water to stop the growth, since then no problems.
