    I couldn't see the attachment but the first pic I saw on your photobucket account looked covered in hair algae, cyanobacteria and some halimeda sprouts.... I couldn't get a get a good look on the halimeda but it was definetly some macro growing

    Good luck cleaning that all up!!

    Post the pic without being an attachment so I can get a better look... But from what I saw that looks like Halimeda SPROUTS...

    Happy reefing!
