I had kind of forgotten about this one. Had it tuked away toward the back. Looks to have grown 10X since last post about it. Still can't find a positive ID. Has been given a few common names, but no species name.

Yep, a fish store that has very nice corals and established reef's has the very same algae. I think it's a neat looking algae and was gonna ask the guy to give me a piece of it. So colorful. And it looks about the same in person! So believe the overall look of the algae from the pic!

If I could choose what kind of algae my tank had, that one would be on top of the list. _________ Prevent dihydrogen monoxide contamination in your aquarium: www.dhmo.org | |

I have searched many algae identification sites and haven't been ablke to find anything even close. | |
