So I had an old frag of clove polyps, old meaning when I moved the lr they were on they wanted more light and slowly moved off the plug and headed north to get more, now there is this white stuff growing where the cloves were and I can't I'd it via some Sicky posts here and Google. Any idea what it can be?

Just not really sure what I'm looking at or for. Could you take a closer shot and maybe circle where We are to look to better help you out?

Looks like a shade loving sponge. It may disappear now it’s getting light.

I'll take some pictures in a moment that have better lighting. That was taken in the middle of the night using flash, which is a not great.

It would appear you have a bubble algae on that plug I would remove the plug specially if there's no clove left on it IMO
