    ok, these things are sooo tiny that i can't take a picture of it so i will do my best to describe it. I have noticed these tiny litttle strands that was thin like a piece of hair, but it was white and a round almost like bubble (wasnt a bubble it was attached, best way i can explain it) on top of each strand.

    On the same rock i have a few of orange stick like things sticking out of the rock. I tried to take a picture of them but there is SO much going on that rock it gets lost in all of the coralline. This rock also has the things mentioned above on it. I was only able to get one decent pic of it because of how much was going on in the pid

    Sorry for my bad explaining and pic, hopefully someone has somewhat of an idea of what im talking about

    if so pull the rock and scrape them off, they don't sting corals but may bother some, but they will spread like wild fire and can clog up pumps and plumbing.
    there a real pain in the b*tt.
