- I've seen alot of people with it. Not sure how to deal with it but all sources conclude it is invasive and stinging. Maybe take the rock out of the tank and use a tooth brush on it... rinse with RO thoroughly (maybe do a 'swish' with salt water in a bucket to do another rinse since they spread so easily and it appears your system is favourable to it)

Thats exactly what it is.....great! I have plucked them out and they tend to grow back slowly... there are 3 places they grow on various rocks...I actually had scrubbed them off with a brush andplaced the rocks in RO for about 2 days when I did the move...I then cycled the rock through the tank again! HARD TO KILL! Thanks everyone for the responses....I will post if I find something that works!
