I need your help

Hi
Couple of weeks ago I noticed something growing close to my mashroom corals and I have no idea what is this. Also it's safe or not
Pls find the picture and let me your comment.

I would say a macro algae but not sure which type, possibly codium?

Thank you for your reply
And I'll do a search now
Is it safe or not

I don’t think is not safe but typically, we don’t want green plant materials in our systems.

It’s definitely a macro algea and it’s definitely a colum, I had something similar and you should get rid of it because it could damage your mushroom corals

Looks like dead mans fingers. Codium macro algae. Grows well in a fuge or DT. I got it as a hitchhiker in my biocube before I tore it down. Doesn't grow terribly fast and is reasonably easy to prune, but it can get away from you if you let it.

If you want to get rid of it, I'd remove the rock from the tank, trim it as close as you can and then carefully drip some hydrogen peroxide on it. Allow it to soak in for 5 - 10 minutes, rinse in a cup of tank water and return to the tank. Because it will root into the rock, you may need a couple treatments.
