 Is this a barnicle? Hey dudes...I have dozens of these red little things all over my LR. I noticed they are spreading and some are turning black. I wanted to know if anyone knows what they are. In the picture its to the left behind the frogspawn...   |

| Re: Is this a barnicle? If its a barnacle it would already be dead.Most dont survive the trip to your tank.And even if they do they wont live but a few days.I dont see anything unusual in the pic. |
