NanoRox Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 So I have this in my tank. It's actually pretty IMO. My snails seem to be leaving it alone. I have two small clumps of this growing. any algae experts know what this is? Quote Link to comment
Subsea Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 It is neat looking. I have no clue. Did it come off of farmed rock? https://www.marineplantbook.com/marineplantbookgreenalgae.htm Check it out. Quote Link to comment

I don't see anything like it in your link. hmmm Quote Link to comment
Oldsalt01 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 It actually looks exactly like Cabomba. Onliest problem there is that Cabomba grows in freshwater. Maybe it crossed over. Quote Link to comment

I hate to pull it out but will if it gets invasive, none of my snails will touch it. Quote Link to comment
