this color does well in my tank, the lights had just come on when i snapped this so its clear to see it. wat is that pinkish whitish thing? is it growing or is it no good? should i scrape it off?

its either a new head forming or some type of sponge or something. you will find out soon when or if it grows into another head. someone else can probably tell you for sure, but i don`t think its anything to worry about right now

when mine grows new heads- which is usually multiple ones at a time they start off like very small heads and then get bigger and bigger they dont usually start off that big- if it was that big you would see extension from the hammers on it already-- doesnt mean to kill it- might be something else good
