Algae ID

[iReefer12]

I just pulled out this algae from my refugium, I’ve never seen this before in my life. It’s got a weird texture that kind of reminds me of the skin on bubble algae.. but it came off in like sheets.

I put some in my display and the tangs loved it, so I feel a bit less worried, but would still like to know what it is.

Anyone know?

Sea lettuce?

Wow! I think it is… it might be a bit browner than the really green sea lettuce I see online..

It's popped up in every tank I had so far, I never added it intentionally, always seems to make it in to my tank one way or another

The fish really liked it, so that’s good news
