help white slime

[ctommo9]

Hello fairly new to the forum so bear with me,
I have a white slime i have never seen before spreading on my rocks. this is spreading to other rocks now and dont see any fix except taking my tank apart and putting new rocks in just worried there's some underneath other rocks i cant see so would have to take all the rock out and replace which would be a slow expensive process.
See photos attached any in put would be grateful

thanks

To me it looks like a sponge growth. Have you tried to remove it manually? What effect does a bit of vinegar have on it?

It does look kewl....

Sponge. I’d leave it.

Easiest way to kill it would be to expose the rock to air for about 5 minutes- it will probably cause a massive dieoff that you'll have to do water changes to prevent any nutrient issues

That is a fantastic sponge! If you don't want it you could probably sell it.

I have already took one rock out and tried to take it off but its well attached could not get it off even scraping it,
Problem i have got is it will eventually take over the tank killing all the corals and ill be left with just this white slime/sponge over everything
Ill try the vinegar not tried to put anything like that into it
