Default Unknown algea... not your standard pest algea
Does anyone have any idea what kinda algae this is ? i have looked in my 2 algae books with no luck i have also looked in the standard web pages for hichikers... It is quite slow growing and dose not go sexual, but you need to keep it pruned to keep it looking nice

thanks kris

Well after a lot of searching i belive i have an ID i belive it is Ptilota gunneri and seems to be native to norway... good thing my dad still can read norwegian, It came on a frag plug that i got from a fellow reefer when i first got into the hobbie a few years ago. I guess i will have to start trying to grow frags or something share the wealth.... But please dont PM me looking to be first on the list it will take a few months as it grows painfuly slow... thanks
kris

oh yeah here is the best link http://www.natuurlijkmooi.net/noorwe...ta_gunneri.htm
