Hello all! My tank finished cycling in September, and since then this algae has exploded in my tank. It started as a green dusting on the rocks, and has turned into this thick leafy algae. There appears to be 2 types. Some of it almost looks like a ribbon, and collects a bubble in it's tip (doesn't appear to be bubble algae), and there appears to be another type that almost looks like a star (5 thin leaves, or petals). Any help id'ing it would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

Interesting... I was half expecting something worse! Whatever it may be, its growing like weeds! Unfortunately it's in a 20 gallon cube, so I can't really put anything substantial in there that would enjoy the feast. Thanks for the insight, Bret!
