Ricordea Slime?

[MadMax]

Just added a few Ricordea mushrooms to my tank (75G, 2 year old mixed reef).
All water parameters are perfect.

They got really slimy as I handled them (used the bridal veil method to hold them on pcs of rubble). Put them in a shallow plastic dish (tupperware without lid) with holes drilled in sides for flow.

Have been in the tank for a day, and now there is a alot of debris at the bottom of the dish. It's very light green in color, and very fine. Looks like very fine sawdust. What is it? Is it a byproduct of the slim after coagulating in the water or something?

Is it bad for the tank?

Just a guess.But I'd say its just the slime from the shrooms.I'd also siphon it out,just to be on the safe side.

I'd bet it's just detritus that's settled in the cup since it has nowhere else to go. Try sucking it out with a turkey baster.
