Leaf Lettuce on my Chaeto

[ForEverOnTheRoad]

So my Chaeto is dark green and healthy. Every week it keeps collecting these leaf like structures, but the Chaeto itself does not seem to grow much. Is this Leaf lettuce attaching and growing on it? Should I leave it alone or harvest or just leave some? Tank parameters are fine, and no significant DT algae, some in the sump (which is fine). Thanks in advance.

I have the same stuff, I think they call it Ulva

Try to keep both of these macro algae growing in you fuge. I do this too. You can feed the Ulva to your tangs.
