    It looks almost like a nem., but I only see it inside the skimmer body, no where else. It's the color of Corralline algae, but I also have corralline growing in my PS body, and it doesn't look like this.
    I've seen it now for over 5-6 mnonths, and it doesn't grow much either!

    Have you ever seen this? It's got bubbles, and is purpleish in color.

    When I cleaned the inside some, I didn't try an remove this hitchhiker, I'd like to know waht it is!

    Red bubble algae Botryocladia is the species.

    Thanks, it actually looks kinda cool in there!

    Nest time I'm cleaning it, I'll try and remove it.
