    Just my foxface trying to go camo while he sleeps. The right side of rock my tribal blenny is popping out. And the funny part the pistol lives in the rock as well but my pink spotted watchmen stays on other side of the tank.

    I have a similar issue myself,but mine isn't what yours is,however one of the suggestions made as to what mine was was a calcified encrusting sponge and they are known to grow over polyps.I wonder if thats your issue?Check out Mr.Bills info on this along with checking out the links and see if that helps.
