[drbogger]

Can anyone tell me what kind of macro? algae this is?

Atleast I'm assuming it's macro...

I don't really see what I have listed in that article. Any ideas?

You have GHA. That is what the KZ link addressed.

Check this link from Reef Cleaners and look at GHA

Actually, I think it looks pretty.

I think it looked pretty too.

I was actually kinda bummed out when I removed it, because I liked the way it looked.

Be sure it can be very invasive. Unless you scrubbed rock with peroxide, it will come back.

It was not attached to the rock. It was attached to another piece of algae/plant, and was just dangling at the end of it. I just trimmed the other piece and removed it. So there shouldn't be anything left behind.

I liked it. Next time send it to me.
PS: there is nothing wrong with having some algae in your tank.

Yeah I know, I just didn't want it growing out of control.

I have an algae friendly tank. The cyano also gets along fine with everything.

That's cool. It was already started to grow a lot, that's why I got rid of it. I did like the way it looked tho.

Maybe if it grows back, I'll let it stay and just keep a close eye on it.
