Looks like a sponge. Most are harmless but some can be invasive.

Isn’t that what you asked about?

The white stuff looks like sponge.

It can try. I just pick them off when they grow wild like that.

Thanks. Will it scrub off when i clean the algae off the rock? I scrub it in a separate bucket and rinse before returning to dt

It might. If not just use some tweezers and pick it off.

if its is a sponge I'm sure it will die when exposed to air if I remove the rock from my tank to scrub it to rid filamentacious algae. I'll consider keeping it. I don't see it during the day because my gsp covers it.

thanks for helping identify it.
