It was from a tank but it sat outside for a few hours before I got it so there is going to be a lot of die off.

My tank is pretty clean..... my old water going in with the rock will only help keep it alive. If I put the cured live rock back into my tank then thats a possibly. Its in the dark now so theoretically algae can't grow. Slowly I should be able to kill most of it / wash away most of it with water changes.

I thought it might be mold unless there was some other weird chemical relationship that was happening... I am not a chemist..... mold it is.....
I am thinking it will be a few weeks until its cured.....
