    So I looked in my tank today and noticed this big white clear ball of what looks like slime. Wasn't there yesterday....is this algae or something else? Anyone able to shed the light for me?

    Is that on your yellow polyps too or just on the rock> It looks like a sponge, to me. About how big is it?

    I was thinking eggs too. Do you have any pairs in your tank?
