Default Algae or ???

[smiley=confused1.gif] Hey everyone- Does anyone have any idea what this is? Algae? Plant? I have 2 patches of it growing in my main tank. It doesn't look anything like the other species of algae that I have. I would just like to know if I need to yank it out.

Thanks,

CowboyUp

Sorry that I can't tell you what it is, but maybe this site can. http://www.algaebase.org/browse/inde...AD3CQtI2282895

I went through it briefly, but since you have it in your tank, you can identify it better than what I can with a picture.

Thanks for the info Birdlady and Cannon2222! Those sites were very useful. Still not quite sure what it is, but I'm going to keep searching.

Thanks again,
