    Just wondering what the white spots on the rock above the Leather were?
    My tank is saturated with them.

    not very clear pictures Ghost (OK truth is my eyes are not that great these days)

    they could be tiny fan worms -
    they could also be tiny snails - if they move？

    They look like dead coralline spots to me. Did you take that rock out of the water when it had purple on it for a length of time? When I do water changes, the purple coralline on my back wall turns white if I don't hurry. I also have other rocks that have coralline spreading on them and they start as white spots,,,,,or when the coralline is dying it turns white. Not sure why I would have it dying on my rocks but yea. Looks like coralline.
