Wonder where they all went? it is like a mod went in and deleted all the pictures. I think I referenced where I got them from. Hmmm..........I can't even go in to edit them as the postings are old enough where they don't allow you to edit. Think this happened during the upgrade?

Think I'll PM SCSI and see if he can see what happened.

The Neomeris sp. can get out of hand if you let it. Otherwise not a bad thing and very pretty. A calcareous algae like Halimeda sp.
Pretty detailed description there toots. "a red algae that may look like a mushroom" "it also may be a mushroom"

Green algae is not neomeris. Looks more like Boergesenia forbesii a bubble algae.
I just looked up both images.....mine does not have that white base (that I can see anyway)...So what do I do....take it out?

I would, just because I would want to pop it outside the tank to see if it is a bubble algae.

LOL....I meant the green stalky thing....This rock is on the very very bottom in the 54G....There is no way it is coming out

I looked at some sites, and this stalk has no bubble in it at all..it is all the same size and shape

How would you get rid of it from in the tank...I just added 2 emerald crabs on Tuesday...

Okay the green stalky thing. (another good description) Let it grow and see what happens. Looking closer it may be Codium sp.
