    i noticed white bumps about 1/8 inch in diameter on my back glass today. maybe a dozen. they are all in the same general area. didnt get a pic before the lights went off. i know this is kinda hard without pics. ill try and get one tomorrow.

    any ideas

    what are the chances of them developing??? i dont have any mechanical filtration running right now (other then skimmer). i guess worst case could be some good coral food

    just read something on another forum. some said that they require high concentrations of phytoplankton to survive in the free swimming stage. guess its a long shot. could be cool though
