There was a few now they are everywhere....what is it?

[Marines_Wife]

I have two things in my tank that I have no idea what they are or what they do, so I am coming to figure it out.

This first picture, there were just a couple, not many but now they are everywhere. They grew pretty fast let me tell you!! The fish dont really bother them and they dont bother me per say, I just want to know what they are!

Secondly are these little white dots. There were just a few but now they are ALL over the rocks. Again the fish dont seem bothered by them so I am not overly concerned but I have no idea what it is

Also, I know this isnt in the right section but I am to lazy to start a new thread LOL. I like to keep all of my levels in a good area so I can put whatever I want in there. My calcium level is what I am most concerned about now because I would like to get coral in there however SOMETHING and I am not sure what it is seems to bee leeching the calcium out of the tank at a pretty good pace. I added calcium last week and was able to get it to 480, but I am sitting at 360 now. In a week! Well 6 days really....Any thoughts??

I have the same green plants/something, would like to know what they are too!

The little white dots are snail sacks. Apparently they wont hatch though. Our tanks are not good egg incubators. And dont know what the green stuff is. :/

 

[Marines_Wife]

Please LOL What are the green things? Someone somewhere when I was describing them said they were tube worms??

 

[little_fish]

the green things look like some type of calcify algae but beyond that, im not sure.

What are is your pH and alk at? Calcium, pH and alkalinity are all related.

Looks like alien rock..lol Sorry but I'm still pretty new...

 

[marcah]

the green i am stumped on also but the dots are nerite eggs..

 

[rmccroskey1]

the green things look like Neomeris annulata.

 

[Marines_Wife]

the green things look like Neomeris annulata.

THATS WHAT I HAVE!!!!!! THANK YOU

This is what I found about it and I am going to do some more research

Requires high lighting like that needed by clams and SPS corals. Neomeris Annulata also requires a lot of calcium to keep growth steady. Pristine water conditions are also necessary, only trace amounts of nitrates to keep the Neomeris Annulata fueled, should be in the water. Treat the Neomeris Annulata as if it were a coral it should grow like wild for you. This is a very tricky macro algae to keep around for long periods of time.

Neomeris Annulata is very reef safe and will grow well in a reef environment. It is unlikely that the Neomeris Annulata will become invasive due to its high mortality rate and its slow growth. Neomeris Annulata is calcium based so a tank that gets dosing of calcium of your coral will aid in the happiness of this stunning algae.

Apparently it is a macro algae, and it thrives off of calcium, go figure hahahaha found out my calcium issues.

Look at this guys tank!

lol 2Cent

 

[Marines_Wife]

OH MY GOD.

Thats incredible.....seriously I cant believe that.....

 

[fastrd400]

lol 2Cent

Haha, that is the only thing in Dudes house :bounce:

 

[Marines_Wife]

LOL how did I miss that

 

[jase]

be careful of blue tangs around Neomeris annulata they will eat it as mine does
