Default Sargassum

I have had too many battles with what I was told is "Sargassum" To knowledge I have never found a fish to touch it yet. I have found it thrives on my rocks and is calcarous. Allan @ J&L told me the only way he found to get it out was to hand pick it off using tweasers. Can't tell you how many friends have laughed at me while I sat over a bucket of old water from a water change an pick this stuff off grinding the roots out.

When I let it get big, I get what looks like buds, or seed pouches. I always remove them, but I keep waiting longer each time (just being and idiot, waiting to see if something is realy going to happen) So for now nothing is spreading and I just keep it in check for now.
