R E M O V E it ASAP!!!!! A small petstore i used to work at had a similar outbreak in 99'. Ended up encrusting all LPS skeletons and working thier way to the edge of the flesh. I didnt see any probs at fisrt, then in less than a year it took over a 200 gallon flat in about 1 week. The pattern of concenrtric barnicle like circles that maze out from bottom to top seem to be an encrusting parasitic organism rather than a colony of smaller individuals. notice the prominant walls that encircle the triangular ones....all made of the same material. Maybe someone here can id it. I would not listen to anyone who parrots a google phrase or pic. This crud scrapped a 200 gallon frag tank. QT it, 86 it, or ship it to me as i would be very interested in documenting it. PM me on the latter offer. Hope you find info before it reproduces in the water column.
