Id on Algea

[Invertfreak]

I have been in this hobby for many years and this algea stumps me, I have never seen it before. It is in my friends tank. The algea starts as white tubes then turns green in a week or so. Any id help would be greatly appreciated. A critter that would clean it up would also be nice to know

Can get quite invasive or just up and die its 50/50

It dies for people who want it and lives for people who don't.

What salt does your friend use? Rumor has it that salt with a lot of boron causes it to thrive.

Hmmmmm, I can't seem to find any analysis of that salt. Given ATM's reputation, it's hard telling what's in there.

That stuff looks awesome. It’d make a great lawn for a planted tank display fuge.
