got this shelf rock, Dry live rock, from BRS, union arrival I noticed these orange spots on rock. After 6 weeks of curing, and 2 weeks in the DT, these orange spots started growing. Curing process was in total darkness. Spots are rock hard, and growing fast. Now what???

Now this sounds interesting!

Yep! So much for Dried out, pest free, power washed, Sun-dried for months, and then cleaned again Dry Live Rock.

No way. You say it came and started growing?

 

[mkutsch]

Weird, though most likely harmless

Is it a coraline variant?

No, it was cured in darkness, and Coraline doesn't grow that fast in 2 weeks. And BRS can't explain it either

 

[mkutsch]

Well, maybe it's a situation like the brine shrimp eggs...
