Reminds me of the time I cleaned out my overflow a couple months back

Plumbing and dark areas can be a real paradise for stuff.

Wow. Scared to see what the insides of my pvc pipes look like.

Overflows and pipes are a perfect place to catch food. These things are amazing at life, corals on the other hand, not so much.

In a perfect world, they would be the perfect cryptic refugium.

In reality, it becomes a vermetid/aiptasia heaven

Overflow looks like a great place for a berghia farm

Out of curiosity, what's the best way to clean the overflow and pipes if/when this happens? I'd imagine the overflow could be scrapped with vinegar or citric acid solution during a water change. But the pipes might be difficult if you don't have the valves in place divert or stop water.

I've seen pulsing xenia refugiums that were quite effective.

I actually do have Xenia in a section of my refugium! I’m not sure how much they like pink light but they are alive and pulsing!
