I bought this alveopora about 2 months ago. It is growing nicely and everything seems fine and dandy. All water conditions are excellent (like you have never heard that line before) and I have about 32x turn over rate per hour for the tank.
Well, while I was inspecting all of my corals growth, I've found something strange about my alveopora. As you can see from the images, there seems to be some sort of fuzziness/hairy stuff growing underneath the coral. It seems to grow behind its base and that's where not much flow are going through there (of course).

It is doing fine and no sign of recess. What's the problem? Should I take it out of my tank and brush those fuzziness away? Or that's some sort of calcium build up?
Any suggestions? Thanks!
