It's normal, alot of people have it with wooden diffusors. It's something like what new driftwood sometimes have: fungus. It can be related to the DIY CO2 as well.
It's not harmful, merely unsightly.
P.S. Resize your pictures next time... unsized pictures make the forum layout skewed, and gives longer loading time for people who have slow internet connections!
Ohh =) Lucky me , i thought it was somehow dangerous to my tank =x
(I'm just a beginner okay,don't flame me just because i think its dangerous=x hehe im so noobish=p)
Sure thing,i will try my best....The 1st problem i had was the pictures being placed wrongly and now it is this big thingy.Well thats me =) a noob =X

Don't worry, we don't flame newcomers to the hobby here. (I hope... at least not me)
You might want to change to a small ceramic one... I used to do DIY CO2 with ceramic ones and there was no such whitish stuff.
How to get rid of it? My DW just got whacked by this white wooly stuff. At first I thought it was some kind of algae.

did u soak ur DW for sometime b4 introducing to the tank.....??
just give it a good scrub will do.
i'm ADDicted to this wonderful hobby
It's normal, driftwood will sometimes have this. It has to do with the "new-ness" of it. It will go away after your driftwood has been in your tank for about 2 weeks or less.
It is not an algae!
Mollies/guppies/platies eat the stuff.
The DW was previously used in a cichlid tank for about 4 yrs. That was scrubbed clean before I converted to planted tank. Strange for the fungus to pop up like that though. Thanks for the info.
hmmm water problems?
The key is you scrubbed it clean
Had this before. Like squee said, nothing to worry about - it's fungus caused by naturally occuring bacteria. I even had this stuff growing on my rubber suckers and tubes. Goes away when the tank water starts to stabilise.
Psst...beware of the armless swordsman!

I've had it on newly submerged beach collected driftwood too. It just goes away after a few weeks (Scrubed it during that time but still comes back). Never seen it since. Read somewhere that otocinclus/sae and mollies might take a liking to it.

i know for sure, mollies can take care of it
