Some sort of algae...

[Smitty]

Hello everyone, I need a little assistance...for the past two weeks, I've been pulling this unknown algae out my tank daily, it grows fast, and grows thick. It's individual stalks have fern/palm like leaves. It seems to be popping up more and more, and now around/within my corals. Aquatica told me it's a type of "good" macroalgae that they sell, and that I probably got it from them by accident. I can't seen to find much information online in it neither. So I need you all help to eradicate it before it gets out of hand.

First pic looks like a feather caulerpa. But I can't say for sure.

Smitty, if you don't mind me asking, could you pm me the name of the lfs you frequent the most?

 

[Smitty]

Thanks for the advice...I'll google it. Also, pm sent.

It spreads faster than an STD in a Thai whore house! :shock:

Lmao...I wish you were joking, but it does spread that fast.

No wonder why my skimmer hasn't been skimming for the last 2 weeks, this stuff is stealing all the nutrients.
