devilishbabe14 Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 i have those in my tank too and a friend of mine said they were some kind of colony algae but im not exactly sure. Link to comment
Angel Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 If it is what coralreefer posted, then it looks like Botryocladia pseudodichotoma, aka red grape algae/sea grapes/red kelp. Link to comment
freakinhippie Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 That's exactly what it looks like!! Should i get rid of them or leave them there, there's only 3 of them? Link to comment
coralreefer Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 angel, thanks for the id. i thought this was a macro, which is good. but like culerpa, shouldn't let overrun the tank (although this seems as if it were easy to prune). Link to comment
