| Re: Live rock white dots??? I have very tiny white specks and I finally got a good look at one today. I think mine are tiny feather dusters or something like that. I could see something pop back into the white part when I got close. |

| Re: Live rock white dots??? Could be bleaching coralline algae, though it is really hard to tell by the pictures. Do they seem to be getting larger, smaller or stay the same since you first noticed them?

| Re: Live rock white dots??? It could also be that the snails in your tank are attempting to breed. If you see any on your glass get a magnifying glass and look at them. Are they swirly? Snail eggs! |
