White normally means not enough or too much light!!!! They are nearly indistructable. I had a polyp recently get covered in a white mucos and die. Two weeks later two baby rics were born. Never found out what happened but I submitted a thread on it an have some pics if your interested.
Do you have any other polyps??? Are they okay???How long have you had the ric??? I bought one a few years back and it did the same thing looked good in the store got it home and it died within a few days :notsure: "weird"
