    Hi,

    it could be bacteria, which decompose for example a crumb of food. How large is it? In little masses it's harmful. Have you the possibility to show us a picture to get fairly sure?

    Best regards

    Elisa

    not able to post pics yet but have removed it from the tank just to be sure, theres kind of 3mm fans of hair like something all over it, no big loss tho as it was a crappy bought bit of bamboo with java moss on.

    Its in a jar at the moment, if it goes away or turns out to be ok i might add it back to the tank, but i might go for the more natural look and have moss on my lava rock instead.

    You can upload the pics in the gallery section or attach smaller files to the post. After newbie restriction, you can insert pictures by using full URL code.

    My moss has these as well and I think they are just little arms looking for something to attach to!
