Icon5 White flowing stuff on rocks....?

This stuff started growing about 3 months ago and is really starting to take over. The pics are of the 2 rocks that have it the worst. But I now notice it's starting to show up on almost all of my rocks.

Hey Will, sorry I must have missed your thread. If one ever goes unnoticed like that, just simply post "Bump" on the thread and someone will surely get to it. Anyways, its kind of hard to tell what exact type of growth it is on the LR, but probably some kind of algae. What are your water parameters currently at?

Sounds great! Also take into consideration that many pieces of LR come shipped in with hitchhikers and such on them. Some rubble contains sponge spores on it, which will eventually start developing into something. I have a couple pieces that have sponges on them. But again, the pictures seem a bit early to tell what exactly it is.
