 negative. Hypo clear will help get rid of it.

I've not had this problem.  After fixing, I simply allow the negatives to sit
in water for about 15 minutes, then I wash them.  The antihalation backing is
completely removed.

or...
just fix it for 1/2 the time in the tube then dump it into a fixer tray.
TMax, especially, has an indicator built into it (the infamous purple) that
indicates incomplete fixing so you want to be careful removing the
coloration w/ HCA to pull it out.
