Hiya all.

I've had my Orca Nano for over 4 months now, and I've recently added some green mushrooms to it (the LFS guys said I was being well patient waiting so long before adding something to the tank).

For the first 2 months the only living thing I could recognize was a blue-red blob looking like a mix between a starfish and a naked snail (quite funny to be honest, even though I've got no idea what it is - nonetheless my girlfriend loves it and is always sooo happy when it comes out to do stuff).

Anyway - a while ago I noticed a small red bubble growing on the LR - which in about a month was transformed into a massive amount of bubbles everywhere, and I still keep finding new ones.

My question is - does anyone know what it might be??
