    I can't manage to take a picture, but I have hundreds of them. They are about 1mm thick and 10mm long all over my rocks. So far I have only Nerrits and 1 damsel, I assume its a snails poop?::)

    no guys, that think looks like detrius, not attached to anything and easy to blow off the rock. It gets broken very fast, I'm sure it's not alive and I don't think my damsel can sh*t that much ;D

    I will have to borrow my buddy's DSLR and try to macro shot it with all powerheads off. Any1 knows if nerrites poop?

    I'm worrying that I have such a big build up of some weird stuff in my 40b even with just 1 little fish and 4x evo 750.

    Yup ;)

    Are they tight swirls or are they just curled randomly? Are they hard?

    Here is not so good phone pics so far, they are appeared to be on the hard and heavy side, As soon as I blow it off the rocks it immediately sink right next to the rocks.

    They look like the tubes from feather dusters. Something is probably not eating at them.
