Oh .... Ok. 100% certain it's a shed byssal gland then. They very often shed this when moved into a new tank and placed on new substrate.

Cool! Thanks dude. That one has no Cow and no Dragnet ahah you think with a tank that small it wouldn't be hard to get everybody.

I had to move the pink plate on the far right b/c the half that was shaded from the frogspawn seemed to be receding. But as you can see the leather does not seems happy? Anyone have suggestions?

Congrats on the engagment man! So do you put junk all over the stand usually but clean it off for the pictures? I know my remote, cell, truck keys, etc would be all over that stand haahaa!

Thank you sir.

No the stand stays pretty clean. It's got too b/c I'm in all of the compartments fairly regularly so it'd just make more work for me to move everything off it to feed, top off, do a water change etc.
