jenniebutterfly Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 i second the cyano Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 No, I dont think it is cyano. It looks more ruffled and textured than it should... Link to comment
Withers Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 If that's cyanobacteria, then I want some of that to grow in my tank Link to comment
xeon Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Can you scrub it off with a toothbrush? There are several varieties/colors of coraline algae... I have some burgundy in my tank that grows with a texture. If it scrubs off though, I would call it cyano though. Link to comment
TonyL Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 it does not scrub off. i took another pix of it. it crumbs together, i had to cut it off w/ a razor blade. if looks closely, it looks like little sac. (like the sac from kelp, i put a circle on the pix). much thanks, tony Link to comment
chrissreef Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 i had something like that b4 and it was brown. luckily my coraline kept pace with it until i sold my tank. umm... i say remove the rock just in case. probably some encrusing caulerpa? Link to comment
chrissreef Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 hmm, i think it's an algae or caulerpa... is ur tank full of it or just here and there? i think ti's a slow grower and doens't really plague a tank but it is thick... maybe try an urchin for a lil bit to remove some? scrubbing wont help, it'll just come back i think.
