I looked around a little deeper and couldnt find anything that looked like a vermetid snail. Its a small tank so it cant be hiding THAT well. Ive read that it may be a type of bacterial bloom as well. My live rock was uncured, and my ammonia is around the first positive mark on the API saltwater test. I'm going to do a water change when I get home from work and see if that helps when I test tomorrow. I'll probably end up doing another 20% the day after tomorrow if its not better. I'm wondering if the ammonia spike, and possible subsequent bacterial mats, are due to my brittle star being unheard from in a few days. Will post updates later.
