Various Algae

[wsamsky]

I have a few algae growing in my tank just wondering what they are and if they are considered nuisance.

 

This one i think is green hair

 

 

This is supposed to be a picture of the bright grim worm looking thing.

 

 

and this one looks to be some sort of kelp???

 

 

Thanks for the help!

Too funny, I have all three of those algae's in my pico. I think one is a green sea fern (the solid round one) but I'm not sure. The green hair algae is not desireable, If it spreads to the glass, I would trim it. Dosing calc helps to control it I have found. I'm interested to find out what the "kelp" is. I assumed it to be a calupera of some sort.

definitely green hairalage

 

 

 

This could be a type of shaving brush algae

 

 

 

This looks like Sargassum to me

#2 looks like codium.

#2 is Neomeris annulata. I think that is spelled correctly. I wish I had some.

+1 -- looks like neomeris to me. i had a few of these pop-up in the first couple of months, but they didn't last. T_T

 

#1 is GHA, and #3 looks like sargassum.

thanks for the IDS guys, im going to start doing larger water changes to try and combat the GHA before it takes over.
