    Question Fungus???

    We have had our aquarium for 2 years. And recently we have this its like this fungus growing around our corals. Its white and soft. There is a little cone shape in the middle of it all. It seems to be spreading to different rocks. Its over growing the corals. The one its on the most is galaxia. There is also a small cone white soft fungus like on our star polp rock. Any thoughts to what this is and what to do about it?? We tried scratching it off but it seems to be coming right back???

    I don't have any right now.

    Its a white and milky. Looks like a sea cone of some sort. Its gelatinous. Almost sponge like.

    Your description makes it sound like a tunicate, but you would only get those in dark areas of the tank.
    Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

    If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

    The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
