"waste biproduct"
I am getting ready to add my CUC. Should I remove it then? Is this a skin or what. Kind of interesting. How dose it form a bubble. |

It's just a blob of slime produced by the bacteria that's consuming the shrimp. I don't know the details on how its formed but it will dissipate in time on its own.
