Algae/Plant Identification
I have been looking through some algae identification sites on the web......can anyone tell me what this is? Is it good or bad? It is starting to spread so I need to know. The fish do not appear to eat it....and the emerald crabs don't go after it either.
Thanks in advance http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/u...e/P1010559.jpg |
anyone??

Do they have a rough/hard texture to them ? if so then is Halimeda Algae which is calcareous, and will drain ur calcium levels in your tank.
|
No they don't Kevotron. They bend in the current and when I removed one it feels like a regular leaf. When the lights are on this stuff it is green, once the lights go out and I am looking into the tank with an LED flashlight they are more clear and white..they seem to loose their color. Weird?

Hmmmm.....its the closest thing I have seen so far......the leaves on mine are scalloped shaped though. I searched "leafy rolled-blade algae" and the more pictures I see I would have to say no, I don't think so.
It started with just a couple and now I have a small garden growing on the side of the rock. Quote:

It looks like "Stypopodium' to me
|
That very well could be it ferret. There are many types of Stypopodium.....but there are at least one-two that it looks like. Thanks!

You are welcome and I should have added sp after Stypopodium. I have a macro algae tank and keeping different types of algae is one of my favour other than keeping marine fishes.
|
Cool, can you send me some pictures of your macro algae tank and let me know what all you keep? I am going to build a new system in the future and I am looking for information on this type of tank system as well. Let me know your lighting/feeding/water flow/harvesting requirements as well please. Thanks!

No problem and just pm your email address to me since I can't post my pictures for restriciting sizes or whatever.
