Ok so I’ve got this green stick looking thing growing in my tank on the live rock. Not sure what it is or if I should try to get it out or not. Here are some pics, any help would be awesome.
Looks like macro algae starting - Neomeris annulata to be exact.
A great place to identify the weird stuff we find in our tanks is http://www.melevsreef.com/id/
This is what yours looks like to me http://www.melevsreef.com/id/annulata.html
Thank you soo much, thats exactly what it looks like. I didn’t even know where to begin on searching for what it was, thats what makes this club so awesome ;D
I’ve never had them last long, I think they are super cool, though. It seems as though yours is about full grown.
they come and go off live rock, for a while. no harm, decorative, and do consume some nitrates. thats the correct name for them . Ive had them from time to time. nice… like green pipe cleaners. they can slowly grow into a small patch.
Haha ok, I’ll leave it be then, I’ve never had them in my smaller tanks.
They look really cool.
