I'm not sure what this is in the center of the picture. I've got two of them and they've been growing for some time now. I thought it was red hair algae at first, but I'm not sure now.

Where it is stilling, it looks like a candidate for pasting over with 2 part epoxy putty. Some people inject them with lemon juice, or calk paste.

If you can pull the rock out you can put a few drops of peroxide on it and let it sit for a few minutes, rinse off the peroxide and it should be gone.
