    Ok noticed this starting to grow. 24g nano. I have 2 young clowns that I have been feeding once a day. I really hope this isn't algae growth. Here are some pics..

    If your talking about the green stuff, just looks a blue/green algae that you see after a cycle. The other choice would be the beginnngs of green coralline.

    Newer tank?

    Film algae on the glass, common. That is what my snails and mag-float are for.

    I would not be concerned at all

    My rocks have that. It's been there for a year now, since I started. The lime green stuff right? Is it hard? I couldn't wipe it off with my finger, I had to use my nail to scrape it off. believe it's green coraline

    I never tried to scrape it off. I try not to put my hands in my tank and when I do I wear gloves.. Don't need anything foreign in there...
