Neomeris?

Grossman90 · Sep 28, 2018

Spotted this growing 2 months ago. Didn't really pay attention to it since the tank had been running for 16 months and never added new rock. If it is neomeris should i just pull the rock and toss it? Can't really work on the rock with all the palys on it. Thanks!

Looks like it. @Victoria M can tell you why you should pull it right away!

I think i read that thread and figured out it's probably neomeris. Lol

Good luck @Grossman90 . For many folks it is a few sprigs. For me?

Queen of the neomeris has a nice ring to it!

Did this stuff pop up randomly one day. I don't understand how i didn't have it for over a year without adding anything unless it's like any other algae popping up.

It's roots go deep into rock.

neomeris beat anything I ever employed including extended baths in 35% peroxide that would blanch skin until it fell off. but the sprig remains. amazing genetics, find out how to eat this stuff, blend it with strawberry dna or something, and then we'll make micro space biomes that Musk can send to mars for feed. this will survive re entry.

we need to find a way to link human or animal feed needs to neomeris annulata. it is known to grow in dry moon dust and weather all events, its got to be good for something.

Is this a start of a new one or something else?

Muttley000 · Sep 29, 2018

That looks like one to me. Did you pull it?

Didn't try. Wasnt green like the others. Wasn't sure what it was.

This stuff seriously reminds me of horsetail weeds. They grow like mad near water and have a networked root system....pull one, another one pops up.

I believe that rock could be acid washed and soaked and maybe be ok. But for the crazy way itwas taking over my aquarium and how large my aquarium was, we just did not want to take a chance. I also got to observe it become invasive in the temporary 40B I set up. The LR that I saved and placed in that tank did not have visible neomaris annulata. When I broke the tank down and threw everything away neo was growing on every surface. So I presume it also produced by more than just root spreading. ;Shifty
