What is this stuff growing on my rocks
twilliard
Tank pests..
Good question!
Would have to see it a lot closer to know what it is and at that it is hard to find an exact ID based on cell structure.
Maybe @Lionfish Lair has some input

Doesn't seem to be harming anything just looks horrible. I've been sucking it out and water changes keeps coming. Back my rodi reads at 0 tds but it's been about 8 months since I changed the filters so I just ordered those.

A lot of time with these threads people are dosing something. Are you adding anything to your tank?

Only 2 part
how many and what kind of snails do you have.
yes. It could be. yours is different though. I believe its a soft colonial algae. so aminos Vc extra nutrints would all contribute to growth.
Same issue but darker color. Started showing when I feed frozen food. Could be bacteria maybe ?
I had some pop up in an experiment tank. The sort answer was to scrub and remove it and add a diverse snail crew and pods actually. Never came back.

This looks very similar to what I have going on

I have been siphoning it out. I do have a little bit of egg crate in sump and In display tank. I feed frozen food. LRF and Cyclopes. Thinking back this started shortly after feeding Cyclopes. I will cut back on that and see if it helps.

I have an assortment of snails and hermits. Not sure exactly what kinds of snails, but I can up the population if snails will help with this.
it may. I pulled the rocks and scrubbed, you can also siphon and scrub too . once I added the rock back in and beefed up the crew, a lot of weird stuff never came back.
