Keep getting these little white things hanging off the rocks (out of light normally and out of strong flow) couldnt get a good pict of it so I drew it. Any ideas what these are and if these are bad or not? Everytime I see one I pull it out of the tank with tweezers.

That was my thought also.... I've always left them alone.

They are good for your tank.. They usually grow in the overflow and under the rock.. good stuff but if you can't stand them, remove them ..
