I bought a bunch of rock today and while I was re-aquascaping I turned a rock around and there was this....gooey stuff on one of my rocks. It looks exactly like coralline from any more than a foot away but it has the texture of an anemone or something, kind of hard to explain. It's just in one patch about 2 inches in diameter and it was right next to a powerhead that I have blowing through the inside of my rock wall. It's somewhat pourous in spots and has these little bumps underneath the gooey film. I was going to disect it but I don't want to potentially unleash some kind of crazy parasite nest. At first I thought it might be like early stages of coralline or something but I can't find anything on the interweb about gooey coralline.
When the wife gets home tonight I'll try to get a picture with her camera.
