Green Stuff

[sharkbite]

This green stuff is taking over my new 10G tank. I don't know what it is or how to stop it. It started before I added 5 crabs and 2 snails. Help!!

That looks like green coraline algae to me!:jumping:
Coraline algae is the pink stuff on your rocks with the green stuff. It comes in many different colors.
