    So im a new at saltwater and i got live rock and water and sand i was watching my tank filter and cycle and clear up than i noticed these lil things coming out my rocks so i looked them up and DIGITATE HYDROIDS best fit them so i got kinda of nervious because they said they sting fish and corals so i took the rock out and poured white distilled vinger on it to kill it than i took water from the tank to rinse the vinger off the rock and i put the rock back in and now my water is more cloudy than ever

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    As long as the tank is still cycling there will be no permanent damage. You probably just caused some die off to the piece, it will recover.

    If it does not clear up try some carbon, other than that I would just wait.

    Welcome to 3reef :)

    no worries. everything will eventually settle and be clear again after cycling.
