Anyone know what this is?

I posted this over on the SCMAS forums as well, but figured I would try here also.

So woke up this morning and this mucus looking thing was waving across my live rock.. earlier it was actually expanded a bit more than is shown in the pick. For perspective.. the thing is about 3" or so wide in this pic.

Anyone know?

Thanks!

looks like a bacteria field from the death of... maybe something on your liverock?

Hmm.. possibly.. there was nothing(at least that I could tell) in that spot except algae.. and there was nothing there last night at 11PM and was there this morning by 7am.. very weird.

I was thinking the same thing.


It only takes a small clam or creature to die and create a ton of mucus.

Ill just scoop it out then, thanks!!

alot of stuff dies off from that florida live rock so its likely chad is right

 

[elthznd901]

Do you have ant wrasses? Looks like it could be a wrasse "nest" or "cocoon" that they sleep in.

Vermatid snail?

I used to have mucus cocoons, then I took an arrow to the knee
