trmiv Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 This thing has been growing out of my live rock. It started out about a month ago a little bud, now it's like close to 1/2". What is it? Some type of algae? It's bright green, and has tiny little hairs on it. Link to comment
lwfjester Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I was just coming on to describe the SAME THING. My camera's macro mode can't seem to get this little critter, but I have EXACTLY the same thing in my tank. I have a nanocube, been running for two weeks. I've got 20# ls, 6# lr, have an xtra PH and a heater. I just saw the little bugger two or three days ago. I have hermits and snails in the tank and they all ignore it (saw a snail slither over it, and it looked like the hairs sucked into it). Mine too is BRIGHT NEON green and looks like it has hair. I also seem to have some brown/red algae that my snails and hermits are eating. ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS? I'll see if I can get a pick too. BoboB) Link to comment
Gilman Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Neomeris annulata Calcium driven macro algae. Harmless in small numbers, but in larger numbers will deplete calcium from your tank. Gil Link to comment
lwfjester Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I am adding calcium supplements to my tank currently one teaspon of SeaChem's Reef Plus twice a week, and one teaspoon of SeaChem's Reef Complete twice a week. Will these addtions make this macro algae grow faster, and if it does will it absorb the nutrients that are making the unwanted algae grow? Thanks in advance, BoboB) Link to comment
