looks like it to me also I cannot stress this enough GET IT OUT NOW! if it's just on the one rock get it out boil it or bleach it or throw it away
 
I would get it out ASAP. You do not want to be dealing with a large outbreak later, like me. :pout:
 
hmmm ... unfortunately removing the rock is not possible .... any other removal method then simply scrubbing it off the rocks?
 
I think removing the rock is the best course of action. Some people have had success dosing magnesium. I would do some research on this first.
