Macro or what?

[troyrb]

Can any identify this stuff on my LR? I'm thinking it is just a type of macro algae. It looks like venus fly traps and even has little hair tentacle along the rims. These things are spreading in my tank like mad. Could they be a anemone of some sort? They don't seem to move at all even when you touch them. Here is the best pic I could get of them.

Dictoya. It's a calcareous algae that usually accompanies high nutrient levels.
