I looked in the FAQ section and there wasn't much there, have had it for a couple days, phosphates and nirtates are fine.
I can't get a good pic but it's short and covering a couple rocks. It's like a grass almost and has a yellowish-green color.

like hair, or like a matt?
Leafy or attached fully across bottom?

It's like hair but it's not long and seems kinda trimmed (like grass) and it's like a matt by the way it covers ther rock.
It's fully attached across the bottom.

Could it be sea grass? Is it kinda stiff and dense? If it is IMO it is only anusence when it spreads beyond where you want it. You should literally be able to pull the whole clump off the rock. Some amy be left behind to regrow. Or you can trim it with a scissors...

I was thinking it could be that though I haven't seen to many pics of it, but how in the heck did it get in my tank? Only thing I added was cheato.

Could be Chlorodesmis or Turtle Hair Grass (google it). Good luck.

Well it hasn't grown out so I can't say that it looks like any of the sea grasses, it's not long enough yet. Hopefully I'll get some emarald crabs or something to eat it up for me.

Here's a FTS pic. It's on the bottom left rock.
