i'm not nate .....but its not good to put ocean shells into freshwater,because its made of calcium and will raise the ph in your tank..

I had a pleco to keep it cleaned off, once they ate the pleco I got that stuff as well, I dont think it hurts them, but looks like crap, so I decided to pitch the wood, the reason it happens is we didnt find the right kind of wood, the hair like stuff is the wood disentagrating I believe
