This is on one of the snails we ordered! Not sure what it is! Anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance.
Hi, welcome to the site!
...Red macroalgae. It's too small of a sample for me to really tell which one...it could be gracilaria or botryocladia. I have it all over my snails, it won't hurt them but if you have corals you won't want that red algae...it spreads everywhere.
