This started to grow shortly after the aglaes when crazy. It's the red flower looking thing the blenny is swimming around. Damn blenny loves having his picture taken and kept sitting on the stuff I wanted a picture of. My thanks in advance!

I had a look at the red turf in the algae forum and it's not like that. It looks like the head of a carnation <sp.> My camera's not good enough to get a good close up of it. I'll try the video camera tomorrow if I get a chance.

kind of looks like a Red Dendrodoris Sea Slug in a ways just small lol or the fringing of one

it looks like the sprout of a predea species of algae, a globular red type that I think is always a keeper. It is in the super family Nemastomacae, but it isn't in the Nemastoma genus. My guess it is Predea feldemanii, but it is early to tell yet. Anyway google "nemastoma aquarium" in google images and you will see a match for it. Congrats, that is a good find. Keep herbivores from eating if you can.

Thank you. I googled it, and that was it. Too bad it's not there now. I moved the rock out a bit to rest another one on it, and I think my urchin had a feast. I did find this one in the tank yesterday just 1 big leaf, but it's gone today.
