My teeny tiny reef

[TinaFoster]

Looks great. My wife has a 29g.

What is the red clump that is in the upper right side ?
She has some in her tank as well, don't know what it is and if it's friend or foe ?

I don't know what it is. But it's been a friend

Here's the clump in question. It looks like red chaeto and I would so stick it in the compartment in the back in place of the sponge if it were!

And here's the third kind.

Looks like Glacilatia, a good friend that can be feed to tangs.

Try this again, Gracilaria.

If our tank has this specific algae, it's pretty short, no long as in this photo.

If you are having trouble with nitrates, I would consider gradually removing the bioballs.
