I asked this before, but without a good picture it was hard to tell... so i took one today.

 

anyone know what this is, and how to get rid of it. It's completely overrun my 5gal nano.

I have a much larger version(2038x1546), but it's almost 2 megs, so let me know if you need it to ID it.

WELCOME TO BUBBLE HELL!!!!

Well your not alone , my 18 gal is over run as well. About once every 2 monthes I break out the pocket knife and scrape my rocks, (out of the tank). My 2 cen. Try not to pop the bubbles, scrape from the base, rinse LR with SW before placing back into tank, and now that I use RO/DI water I have alot less growing back.

 

Oddly I kinda like the splash of red it adds to my tank, and underneath I have alot of coraline. But I have yet to find any "crew member" that will eat it.

Hope that helps :)
