    I have what looks like a fuzzy turf looking thing that is growing on top of my live rock. It has been spreading pretty fast and looks like it is slowly spreading all over the rock. Any ideas of what it is? Good or bad? What do I do to get rid of it? Any crab/snail/fish that would eat it? I have tried going in a tearing it off, but it is stuf on the rock pretty tough. Any help would be great. Thanks!~
