White coralike mass under polyps rock

[dclegern]

Thanks again to all ya'll for being fair and cool about my rather juvenile questions.

I just posted again about the pro's and con's of a refugium, and if it's necessary............. any good ways to bypass etc.....

hey ace, i took the the rock w/ the mass up to the local fish dude...(cool guy, salties only)... and he said it was a type of fungus. Turned over other peices of rock in my tank, and there was big developments going on w/ this stuff.
S*&t is the word as I scrubed on the effected pieces in a seperate tub for an hour or so.

I honestly wouldn't have bothered (and when it inevitably comes back, wouldn't bother either) -- as everyone else said above, everything there is innocuous, safe, and likely beneficial for your tank... I see nothing in the picture linked above that would imply to me that there was a fungus at play here.
