Anyone

Is it hard or soft when you touch it?

 

[Tankkeepers]

If its hard similar to a tree branch is a type of brown calcified macro if its snot like then dinos

 

[samnaz]

Could be cladophora

Whatever it is, I had some in my tank and it went away on its own which actually kinda bummed me out cause I thought it was interesting.

It’s not like snot but if you press on it it popped

That might be bubble algie just growing in an long form instead of a circular bubble I didnt relize it was green thought it was brown and bubble algie pops when pressed dont pop it in tank as it'll spread like fire carefully remove by hand

Or as above post stated could be cladophora it does look cool honestly hopfully whatever it is it does not cause a problem bubble algie is normally a bubble but that could be bubble but thats what it looks lkke when reaching for the light but if never seen bubble look like that before

The only wat to know for certain is a microscope otherwise its all just a best guess if it continues to grow and the stems have segments of guess cladophora if no segme he and stays as a while id guess bubble that growing elongated for some reason
