'Forest' on live rock !
I seem to have a little more 'plant life' than I'd like on one of my new live rocks....can anyone ID it for me? Is it algae of some sort? Couldn't seem to find a photo that matches it anywhere.
Is it going to take over my tank...and should I return it to the LFS? |
This is not a clear picture, but looks to be Cotton Candy algae or Asperagopsis sp. Regardless, this is a nuisance algae that needs to be controlled immediately.

Thanks for the response....that's what I figured :O(
I'll be heading back to the store this morning to exchange it for rock from one of their other tanks that are algae free....the other pieces I got from there are great and full of critters already. The tank's been running for less than a week....so I'm not sure I'm ready to sacrifice anyone in there yet until I know it's stabilized and cycled properly |
Algae rock...returned, no problem....even gave me an extra pound thrown in. Sucked up any floating scraps I could find...so hopefully, problem averted in time !:smile:
