    I agree, looks like a paly. I have them in my tank but I wish I didn't. They spread like weeds and grow very fast. So if you don't like the way it looks now I would get rid of it before you have a tank full.

    Not trying to hijack the post but if someone could throw in some suggestions on removing these I would greatly appreciate it.

    I wouldnt tell him that..

    For one, that paly is bleached, it could be a nice looking paly once it colors up! And just take a razorblade and cut it close to the rock, make some frags and sell them.

    Thanks for the help everyone. I turned the rock a bit to give it more light any idea how long it will take to color up?
