Hi,
I have had a piece of redmoor root in my aquarium for a long time. Today I removed it momentarily and the surface of the wood dried a bit. I put it back to tank without looking too much. About a minute later I noticed that it was largely covered with white spots which started to get loose because of the filter stream. After being flakes they started to form longer filaments, which then broke down and made water milky.
Apparently there is a bacteria or fungi on the surface of the wood and the drying caused these effects. My question is whether to let it be or to take some rapid action? Fishes seem to act normally.
