White roots on my live rock?

[MegIsAwesome06]

Hey! I can't find anything on this, but I know I'm not the first to have it.

I moved a rock that the urchins had moved a few weeks ago. I had left it because when I tried to move it last time, my Clarkii went nuts and I thought he was going to jump. So I stopped.

FF to today. I figured out how to move it. So I did. And my small piece of LR had a white sandy root structure. I touched it to see what it was and one came right off. So is it normal? Bad? Good? Here's a pic, but it's always hard to take a good one with the moonlights. (The second one is the Einstein moment I had to use my sons grabby toy to reach the bottom of my deep tank. The claw is my master! )

Agreed. Could it be feather dusters? My sump live rock are covered in them... kind of fit the "roots" description.

It's worm burrows . They build burrows in the sand and they're pretty solid.

Sorry about the blue. I need to figure out my light situation. Thank you though!

get some red or orange photo gels for a buck or two from eBay and take the photos again.

They went away after a few days...weird.

You uprooted the burrows and the worms moved their houses lol
