Deleted User 3 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Odd that email was rejected! botryoladia? Red grape caulpera? Do a google search for that species to find pics. Link to comment
metrokat Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ok need help identifying the reddy purple stuff is this picture, i know the green stuff is caulerpa any idea and information whether bad or good much appreciated Green looks like grape caulerpa and not an undesirable algae. The red is a bit hard to determine but if it has multiple holdfasts, meaning it will attach to anything then it is probably red dictoya which needs to be gone ASAP. Ok e-mailed john, Don't believe its Fauchea, but in my new picture i found lots of pods out scavenging.So works as good accommodation In your second picture, it looks like you also have turf algae (the green stuff) which is very hard to get cleared up also. A peroxide treatment on this entire rock will solve your problems provided you have no corals. And yes, pods like to live in any kind of macro. Link to comment
