Do you have shrimp in the tank? If so its most likely shrimp poo. My shrimp love to crap all over my flame moss for some reason. I just use my hand to blow some current on it and stir it up before a WC and then suck the stuff out with a python.

No shrimp. That is however the corner where I feed. Coincidence?

It may be uneaten food making its way into the fine fronds of the moss, where it gets trapped and starts to decay.

Ok cool that's what I was hoping.

Yea I find stuff caught in my flame moss a lot. That could explain why the shrimp like to be in there so much. Tangled up food. Then they poop and keep eating. Makes sense.
