    Looking at the tank today(Dad & I), we noticed what looked lik an air bubble. A rather large one...that was moving back and forth. Then another and and well, there were quite a few....like clusters all over the bottom of the cliffs in my scape. I've never noticed it before today. Pics below...what are they? :confused:

    Note: the only known occupants of the 29g tank are 3 blue leg hermit crabs.

    Air bubbles release from the rocks when you put them in the tank.
