I don't know how to draw on the pics...your xenia looks whitish..the pink is all the way to the left in front of the green plant stuff, and towards the back glass directly behind some xenia and to the right of some xenia

My xenia are starting to go nuts. This is the difference over 1 month.

I might have to sell some of them so they don't take over my tank... it is only a 20g.
In this pic it is in the left front corner

Ok I know what your looking at now, it looks red to me. It is a type of macro algae. It started growing out of nowhere, and i like it so i kept it. Here is how it started

and here is what it turns into. I have to cut it back every now and then.

 

[meowzer]

that's it....I like the way it looks..the red in there and all

Man, I'll buy some! That's great.. I wish our tank looked like that!!!

 

[nminunni]

++1 I have never seen anything like it. It is gorgeous!
Absolutely awesome tank!

You should post that red stuff in the macro thread and see what it is! Its beautiful!

 

[lauremf2002]

Ok, I looked and im pretty sure that it is Halymenia sp. but yours is prettier than any of the ones I found. Have you ever considered fragging it? I would love to have some!

 

[jimmy 4]

I wish I knew what kind of algae it was. I have been throwing the excess out. Maybe I should try to sell it. I'll post it in the macro algae section.
When my xenia spread a single stock splits into 4 and they grow these nubs on them that attach to another part of the rock. They multiply fast.

 

[jimmy 4]

I think you are right about it being Halymenia sp. Thanks for the ID.

 

[lauremf2002]

Your Welcome! Keep me in mind next time you are cutting it back
