Hi Everyone,
This little brown spot has started to grow on this rock. I have no clue as too what it is. Can anyone ID this??
Thanks,

Looks like some sort of coralline algae to me.

i believe it is ralfsia.it forms brown circular growths( "crusts" similar to coralline

).it typically reaches 1/2-1 inch but can reach several inches across or cover large areas when indiduals merge

.probably nothing to worry about.
