Is it just slime or does it have structure.

I guess just slime... Is all soft and it easy to remove but it keeps appearing

Start by removing that rock from tank and brush clean using a toothbrush. It doesn’t matter what it’s name is. Export it. Once rock is clean, put it back in tank.

Can't really remove the rock because it will mess everything in the tank(is a base rock). I rlly dont think this is a good advice... Maybe is just something not very bad and because my tank is new... Too radical from my point of view... Any other sugeations?

I tried to figure out what it is from your link already but i can't...

Houston we have a problem.............. maybe. If you can suck it off the rock then this will be the best method for now. Because your tank is new it could be one of many things. It will keep coming back until something else starts out competing it for nutrients. You can help this along by keeping good tank parameters and vacuuming the sand bed and rocks.

No of us can see it better than you. It is not that difficult to use a toothbrush, brush it off and vacume it out.
