stoney waters Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 What exactly is this called? I know its some type of macro. My friend calls it red cheato. Should I leave it in my tank? Thanks Stone. Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Looks like red hair algae to me...Certainly not chaeto. Link to comment
jenniebutterfly Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 tang heaven, round here some of the local reefers call it ogo. Link to comment
stoney waters Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 Great. Just the excuse I needed to put a tang in my nano. LOL, JK. Its like a bristle pad and grows very slowly. Not like any red hair I've seen before. Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Oh, it's bristly, not soft? Hmm.. Maybe someone can get a proper ID, then. Link to comment
Reef_Mad_Man Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 red gracilaria algae. Link to comment
stoney waters Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 Thanks for the help. jenny. During my search I found that you had the same stuff in your sump. Mine is in the main tank. Since I like the color and it is not spreading or causing a problem I think I will leave it for now. My emerald and hermits wont touch the stuff, but I found out that if you cook it right it is delicious. ogo or gracilaria it is. Thanks Stone. Link to comment
Maeda Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 You can actually cook and eat ogo. Atleast thats what we do back home in hawaii. Link to comment
