    I really like this stuff

    I picked this rock because of this red leave - ish algae but is it even algae and is it good or bad??

    It's attractive to me but if this stuff is good I really want to move it to my refugium on the 125 gallon I'm building ( YouTube build log in sig)

    So good bad ugly or attractive keep it or kill it

    Thanks in advance guys!! Happy thanksgiving

    I saw this and thought they were just red mushrooms, look pretty cool. But looking at it a little closer, I'm not too sure.
