Looks like it may be a type of red kelp? Did you touch it?

No, I didn't touch it. After reading some of the horror stories of people getting stung, well, I guess I'm a wimp:rolleyes:
And... I'm from around Binghamton. Not proud of that. Hopefully it's temporary. :)

Well, we've got three in the local area. One just sucks. One is run by someone who's really old school. And one is decent if you know who to talk to.
How about in your neck of the woods?

Does it retract when you touch it?
(Corallimorpharian's do not have strong nemotocysts that will "sting" or produce a burning feeling. If you would prefer, you could gently squirt some water on it with a turkey baster)

Nope. On a side note, I've had my tank lights off for 2 1/2 days getting rid of the red slime algae I inherited on some of my rock. Will that be harmful to it? Lights will probably go back on tomorrow.
