Peyssonnelia sp

[FragIt Dan]

I have a friend with it in her 14G bio cube. It has not taken over but she grooms it periodically. Personally, I would rather not have it in there were it my tank. You can find some info here: http://biogeodb.stri.si.edu/bocas_da...h/species/6642
This source indicates it is fairly cosmopolitan and so I would expect it to be prolific and hard to get rid of. As for IDing it conclusively, best of luck . Here is a resource with some key features but it can be difficult at the best of times...

Probably much safer just to get rid of it, but you already knew that ,

Had run across this but interested in opinions from this forum.

thx for the response...yah was leaning towards removing it. It's slightly florescent (maroon'ish) in blue light so hate for it to go! lol
