Hey all, I just set up my first saltwater tank about a month ago and got a firefish goby about 5 days ago. I started noticing random orange/brown spots on my rock and I'm assuming that it's diatoms. So I guess I'm wondering if I should just let it run it's course or do my best to remove it manually? I read that diatoms usually grow on the sand bed but I haven't seen any on there just the rock. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
 
Sounds like it. Neat little animals that appear from nowhere. I’d let them finish thier bloom and deplete the mineral they consume.
Ulgly yes,to some , but quite miraculous really.
