They are small about the size of a dime.. sorry for bad pic. They are definitely new and showed up on there own. I've tried a few pics but can not get a clear photo but they look like they are growing branches or something and yeah they do look rock like

I haven't had my coffee yet. Are they in the substrate or on the rock?

Attached to rock or at least they were till I did a partial water change now 2 of them are laying on the substrate and one is attached to the live rock

Take a picture tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure their fine. Keep an eye out, though.
Unless, of course, they look like this-->http://m.liveaquaria.com/PIC/article.cfm?aid=294

I will post a better picture if they get larger .. I can only assume they will they went from not noticeable at all to the dime sized things over nite so for now I'll let them be.

Lol ......auto correct can get people in trouble

. ...made me laugh

Captmcfly · May 20, 2017

Pound per gallon seems like a lot lol

Hehe, yeah. Anyway, I would just look at other people's tanks to get a general idea about the rock. As for sand, 1 to 2 inches at best, anything more unnecessary. I would just replace that gravel, though if it's a matter of preference, then keep it as is.
