White spot

[salty105]

This is my first post here, I’m new to the saltwater world. My tank is around 4 months old.

I have algea growing everywhere that I’m not doing much about and just letting it do its thing, I’m thinking it’s the ugly stage.

But today I just noticed a white spot with blue looking speckles in it, on one of the rocks and have no idea what it is. Any ideas?

If it is dark greyish or similar could be either bacteria changing the reef rock's color or algaeo growing over it. This happens if you started with new macro rocks that is completely white. Did you use new white rock?

Gotcha, it’s kinda white. The reason I even asked is because that spot used to also be covered in the brown algae and all of the sudden it wasnt. It was clean dry rock that I began with and the tank is months old

It's just visual changes in the process or maturation of your tank. Enjoy it ;-)
