Post all you can about your tank.
Lights-type,how old, how long are they on.
Size tank, sand bed, top off water.
How much LR/LS.
How old is the tank, live stock.
And anything else you can think of. We need more info to nail down a possible problem.

Draxx.It could be but it doesn't seem to have the rough texture like the purple which i have all over the back.It seems real smooth when i tried to rub it off with my finger just to see.
