It simply may look silver under your lighting, if it is the nasty valonia then what i have done in the past is taken the rock out of the tank an very carefully removed them without popping them, they usually cluster so i found it's the easiest way to get rid of them.

If it's small enough you can take a turkey baster and use it to suck off the bubble from the rock. I've used this method and it's worked well for me but every once in awhile you get a really nasty one that doesn't want to come off, or one that was missed and grew too big for the turkey baster.

Update: I sucked it up with the siphon when doing a water change yesterday. I had to pry it off the rocks but all is well. It didn't appear to have popped at all.
