    Just noticed this slime growing on my rock today. It's just above the polyps in the pic. It mst be growing fast because I take a close look at my tank every day and have not seen it before. It looks like a slime puddle about a third as large as a dollar bill! Any ideas? Thanks!

    It's an encrusting sponge

    If it encroaches on your corals, you can scrape it off. Other than that, it's not dangerous.
