Welcome! -start with live rock, not dry rock -let your tank fully cycle before adding any livestock -quarantine all fish or buy from qt vendor before adding to the tank -take it slow

I would probably be concerned since it looks like it is running the edge of where it is sealed to the tank. Shouldn’t get salt creep on a sealed edge.

ATO, auto feeder, and web cam to make sure nothing fails. Have done 7+ days with no issues.

My dwarf angels chow down on nori sheets. If picking at the rock give it a try.

There has been a lot of talk about Red Sea tank seams failing so do your do diligence before deciding.
