Orange slime....

[StingrayKid]

There's a brownish orange slime on my live rock. I've had the tank set up for about 5 days. I just notcied it today. Any ideas on what it could be?

brown algea all new saltwater tanks go through a algea phase as the tank matures it will stop and you will get purple and green algea. It usually takes a couple of weeks to a couple of months.

Okay good. My hermits will munch on it.
