Macroalgae ID?

[Maebh]

I've two types, both growing at a steady speed. No.one is an upside down teardrop shape and very green, no. two is like a net and yellow-brown-green.

No.one is an upside down teardrop shape and very green,

Possibly an Enteromorpha species or one of the below:

Possibly a Lychaete sp.? For example:

Lychaete herpestica Filamentous Green Algae

Lychaete herpestica is commonly referred to as Filamentous Green Algae. Difficulty in the aquarium: Not suitable for aquarium keeping. Toxicity: Toxic hazard unknown.

If not, I'd lean toward it being something else from that family (Cladophoraceae), as the bubble tubes are pretty unique - they're too long to be Valonia or similar, and too translucent to be Codium.

To show another, similar-looking member of the family:
Luxuriant Cladophora, Cladophora catenata

no. two is like a net and yellow-brown-green.

You'll need a closer up pic for an ID on this one - lots of macros can look similar to this, and the branching/minute details of the "net" help distinguish between them.

Haha, oh good, because I'm not sure on the ID for this one offhand - I do recognize the piece of Chaeto on it though.

If you do want an ID, I'd suggest letting it grow out for a while, then removing a branch and getting both full length pics and close up pics of that branch.

There are chaeto bits all over my tank Since my first post, that algae has disappeared overnight! I'll have to wait and see if it grows back
