Its hard to tell bryopsis looks like a fern look or bird feather

The “veins” are not quit as dense as a bird feather or fern...on each little stalk there is around 10 “veins”

After further examining, it looks like bryopsis but the “veins” are not even CLOSE to as dense. Any other ideas.

Can you get a closer picture maybe take some and put in white bowl it sounds like bryopsis

 

[Jeff Jarry reef]

If it is bryopsis use reef flux to get rid of it I had it and it's gone.

That is not Bryopsis its too stringy

Almost looks like a type of Gracilaria

I hope it’s not hydroids like it looks like on my cell phone?

We need a better picture before we can do better than guess
White light and hopefully a better background as mentioned above a bowl might work well.

 

[Malifry97]

I’ll get a picture as soon as I can! Thanks for all the help so far!

Kinda look like nudibranch

Is it growing in your rocks as well? If it’s on your rocks and you go to rip it off, is it firm like the bristles I’m a toothbrush?? If it’s hard to get off would it be some sort of turf algea? I’d rather deal with Bryopsis then turf algea.

It’s some sort of algae for sure.

It’s only on the glass...and fairly easy to get off.

When I google gracilaria, it has a VERY similar structure

Photo on paper towel....some of the veins/branches broke off, there is normally 2-3 more. But you get the idea

 

[Malifry97]

BUMP!

 

[Malifry97]

ANYONE?
