    Greetings. Relatively new, with a 29 gallon BioCube that is relatively well stocked. Notice a couple of fuzzy white bulbs growing under a rock and on a torch coral. Doesn't seem to have an affect on the coral, but it reminds me of mold. Thoughts?

    Sponges, harmless filter feeders.

    Very cool. You guys are fast! Ok, one more for you. Small worm looking tubes that sometimes release long white strings.

    Thanks for the light reading! After going through a few... articles I think that you have it. The descriptions of Vermetid Snail match what is happening. Seems like more of a nuisance that anything else, but I'll see if I can get the mucus to stop.
