I am new to the forum finding it a little difficult to use at the moment. I have 3 years experience with freshwater but I am now 5 weeks into my first SW tank. I have a strange hitchiker on a rock that I need id for. Also a couple of pieces of LR have gone a very dark red almost black it doesn't scrape off the rock but I'm pretty sure it's not corralline algae. I would upload pictures of I knew how too. If anybody can help with my tank or to use this forum it would be much appreciated.
 
Hi Dave for pictures most folks will use a photobucket account then upload with the yellow mountain icon when making a post
 
You're live rock looks very dry. Hopefully you didn't get scammed. Hopefully the color change is build up of bacteria. No clue on the hitchhiker from that photo
 
It's only in that area where the rock has turned dark. All other pieces are growing nice corralline feather dusters etc
 


This an example of what majority of rock in tank looks like. Lights off at moment so just found it a bit strange that I had some going a very dark colour.
 
I can't tell what the darkened areas are. May be just the rock maturing. As far as the hitchhiker I don't know for sure. Maybe some sort of sponge. There are a couple folks on here that are pretty good at ID's, hopefully they will stop in.
