It's just glue. Over time some brands of cyranoacrylic glue will do that after a long period of time in salt water.
Interesting… never heard of that kinda wild!
I did notice some of the corals starts popping up vermetid snails around the plugs any idea how to nuke before they spread into millions

If you can soak the base in lemon juice water mix should help. Also, Humble snails eat them. I have syringes and inject the juice right into the tube and BB snails do the rest.
