I bought some cured live rock from my LFS, I smelled it and didn't smell anything. In fact when I asked about buying it the first time I was told to come back later in the week so that it would be fully cured. There are dark pink/purple pieces on some of them.We look on the hitchhiker's sticky and it looks like it's a type of encrusting coralline(sp?). Something that has the consistency of packing foam, really dense but porous like a sponge and a brown/green color,the closest to anything we saw online was a dinoflagellates picture and the description of "snot" color. we took the rock, pulled the stuff out with tweezers and boiled the rock for about a half hour just to be sure. We have another rock in the aquarium with this sponge-stuff on it, but that rock has some coraline on it and don't really want to kill that.What should we do?
