Algae???

[TARHEEL78]

I spotted this pinkish/purple stuff in my girlfriends tank, not sure what it is. Any ideas?

Is that the only place you've seen it so far?
Is it soft to the touch?

My first guess, and it is exactly that, a guess, is some kind of soft coral like a mushroom or ricordia.

Maybe we can call in some extra eyes... #ReefSquad

I don't think she tried to touch it but I'll check it out later tonight when I get home. As far as I know that is the only place it has been noticed.

I'll follow along and look forward to your feedback. It certainly doesn't look like anything I know of that is bad or harmful to the reef.

Same here, I looked at all the different algae threads I could find before posting and didn't see anything but I could have very easily missed something.

I have found the same algae I think in my tank. Would love to know what it is or how to get rid of it.
