So my buddy has been trying to figure out what type of algae this is and how to get rid of it, if anything will eat it. Thought i'd give you guys a shot The ones in the pic are about and inch and a half long. Thanks

Neomeris annulata aka Spindle Weed. Calcium based, not much will eat it

Thanks, not a whole lot on them when I googled but what little I found was good enough to satisfy my curiosity. Again, Thx.

Info passed on, thanks again. He was pretty bummed when I first told him he will probably always have some level of them around This should brighten his day a bit.
