Ick on rock and not fish? How would I rid myself of it

[chef]

Am I in deep if it's ich on my LR. What's the safest way to rid of it? Help

[wingedfish]

it is not ich on your live rock. could be sponge, copapods, algae, whatever it is, a better description and a picture will help and it it very likely good or not harmful.

agreed, not ich, ich must host a fish, probably copepods

Not necessarily. If it were ich (which I will bet good money it isn't), the ich goes through a cyst stage where the cyst is attached to the substrate. These are actually quite large and can be visible as white spots.

I can almost guarantee you it's not ich. I have a few ideas what it may be but, really, I need a pic to be able to say what it is without talking out my a$$.

[chef]

These dots are all over my lr. Any ideas?

snail eggs, you probably have (cant remember the name) oval-dark shell 1/2 inch or so . they lay eggs wherever they find algae mostly on glass. that's my guess. Barb
