help identify?
I will add pics soon. Two of my rocks are quite big and porous. In a few of the gaps are what appears to be cobwebs? It's too fine to call them cobwebs though, looks more like fog or smoke (I know its not by the way). What is this and is it good or bad?

does it look like goo? If so, there might be something on the rock that got irritated and put that stuff out.

A lot of sessile inverts spin mucus webs to catch particulate matter and plankton for food. This may be what you are seeing.

So it's not a bad thing? I'll have pictures by this evening! I'm borrowing a Nikon D70 which is kind of exciting for photography!
