What is that!?!?

angnak · 05-20-2004, 09:04 AM

So, I am staring at my tank last night and I see this cloud of "smoke" coming from a rock. I jump up to see where it came from and this little hole in the rock is just slowly leaking this "smoke" stuff. I have had this rock for about a year now and have never noticed this. What is it and what is causing it?

oh no get it out get it out. j/k lol. when i see something like that it's usually my mandarin blowin stuff off the rocks. but you say it's coming out of the rock. i dont know for sure but i'm sure someone has had a similur exsperience so i'll tag along and see too. good luck.

Sounds like you have a volcanic vent in your tank...

Most likely it's some kind of rock-living critter spawning... at least that's my educated guess.

I had the same thing in my tank, I think it was due to some sessile creature living in live rock spawning, like a snail or some such. Because my clownfish loved the smoke!!

My guess would be a tube worm of some sort that is spawning. Very common with LR.
