Take the rock out and bleach it (or vinegar bath if you're scared of bleach), or learn to live with it. I haven't found anything that eats it, and it lives off fumes I think (haha). That stuff is terrible, and really difficult to remove manually. It seems to eventually cycle out after some months, but really it is a pain in the butt.
