Did you scrape off the dead matter? What are your water readings. Keep a close eye on your ammonia. If you want to preserve whatever life is on it then try not to let the ammonia spike over 1ppm.

usually getting up and walking around the tank is a pretty good indicator it's alive. Kidding but I am pretty sure that if it smells bad, thats not a good thing. I think that is uncured rock. Never had any uncured my self so I couldn't tell ya.

How long have you had it in there? I've had mine in my tank for about a week now and happen to turn the lights on to catch a few nocternal slugs out.

LOL you will be waiting for a LONG time. Check your ammonia twice a day. Did you put this into your display??

Alright, it sounded as though this was new stuff (it is new). Can you get a picture of your rock? It takes awhile to grow if you have dim lights.

That will take quite some time for the coraline to grow. It will, but it will take a LONG time.
