Woke up in the middle of the night to check on my quarantining Radiant wrasse. it's about day 6 in quarantine. Something is growing on the heater and Idk what it is. it's only growing on top of the heater and the heater is brand new.

It's slimy, red at the base, and white string growing.
I'm suspecting mucus from the wrasse, algae, or rust.
( the video has pink light in the background bc of refugium ) ( picture is without the refugium light on)

Maybe cyano

it was on the heater so I scrubbed it off. I didn't know cyano could be white.

Did you clean the heater thoroughly before use? I have seen some plastic parts of my RSR 425 get a white, almost dusty film on them when new.
No ill effects in my case just a lesson learned.

Maybe it was some other crud mixed in.
