I'm currently moving corals from an old neglected frag tank into my main display but I'm worried about these weird brittle flakes that seem to cover the live rock and bottom of the tank that I don't want to introduce into the other tank.
Some of them are hard to blow off my rocks but I can scrape them off with my finger and somehow they make it back up onto the rock. I took a few out and was able to crush them with my finger nails very easily. Is this just some kind of free flowing calcerous algae? At first I thought it might have been coraline but that shouldn't appear back so fast and usually it's not circular disk shaped that blows off rocks with my baster.
