Semi soft and domed. Popped one like bubble wrap with my thumb nail. They don't move, but after the initial "explosion" there hasn't been any noticable expansion. The zoos were a very beautiful, healthy bunch... now they aren't. I first saw them on a dead clam on the live rock, then they quickly spread to this zoo rock, a couple other places on the live rock and a few on the acrylic wall, though no particular pattern. Algae seems to grow over them like they aren't there.

Salinity: 1.023
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
Phos: 0
Ph: 8.2
Calcium: 320 (Calcium reactor has only been online about 8 days)
Ammonia: 0
Kh: 9
Temp: 79
4 - 400 watt metal halide
550 Gallon tank with 180 Gallon refrug/sump
It's weird, they really haven't expanded, multiplied or changed in weeks, except for the adverse affect on the zoo colony in the pic. I thought (er, hope) it may be one of those early tank things that go away as the tank matures.
Thanks for trying. I've spent a lot of time reading posts, but haven't seen anything like this in discussion.
On the fun side, I'll post some pics of the set-up soon. You can't tell from the sickly zoo pic, but most of the rest of the tank is outstanding.

i would love to see the whole tank. maybe you could try an iodine dip on the Zoo's. i dont think that it could hurt if you tried it. i just learned about it yesterday here is the link.
