    Here's a pic, my Conch just happened to be there too.

    It's on some of my CC bottom- shallow SB.

    It's on a very few of my rocks.

    It doesn't seem like Cyano- and it's Lime Green.

    I did vacuum some of it up on my las WC- but it came back in a few days.

    It is not taking over my tank- Thank God

    What is this stuff?

    Nitrate 0 API
    PHos 0 API

    I get that too from time to time. its a form of algae I believe. your API test wont read the phosphate correctly. Ill bet you have some in there. when my phosphate elevates, i get that stuff too.
