TheSwissAquarist Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Looks like hydra to me. Try googling a solution to them. (Sorry, I have no idea 🤷♂️ how to deal with these!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that count as a fungus? @Colu is kind of a expert on stuff like this 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rita Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 My vote is fungus too; albeit an uneducated opinion. Side note... I think it looks kinda cool lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 The little black dots on the wood looks like BBA. The other stuff has a similar structure to some pretty intense staghorn, but I agree with everyone that's it's very similar to some weird types of fungus we've seen on other posts in a variety of colors / forms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, they’re stag horn algae. I think the best way is to scrape or pluck it off , even though it does look kind of nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minanora Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Looks kinda like staghorn algae... But it's very odd in thickness. I would remove it. What kind of wood is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
