Hi guys sinse last week I noticed some white bubbles in the surface of my refuguim, they started accumulating on my gracilaria that was sticking out of the surface.
Now they have formed a thick slimy substance, it almost looks like it melted some of the glacilaria and its turning it white.
Is this good? Bad? Should I remove it by cutting some of the gracilaria.

Everything seems good in the tank, fishes look healthy, all corals are growing with the exception of a candy cane thats not looking so good at the moment but everything else is good

Tested yesterday with red sea test kits

Salinity 1.026
Ca. 440
Mg. 1320
Alk. 12.3
No3. 10
Po4. 0.08
No ammonia

Im not dosing anything other than Ca. Mg. And buffer.

Thank you

chrysophaeum taylorii?
I just googled that and I actually have some of that growing underneath a rock. Im going to try to post a pic.
Is it good or bad?
 
I had removed some of this in the past but it don't feel like the stuff thats in the sump, this is more like a sponge, the stuff in the sump is more like a think hard slime

Could be a type of sponge. There are millions of them.
