So I am currently deployed and moved my tank to my parents house while I'm gone. Safe to say they haven't done a great job lol. Got these low quality photos a few days ago. Not sure what it is, but it's grown a lot. Hoping someone can help me figure this out so I can handle it once I'm back. Thanks.

Do you have any clearer photos?

BigNasty402 · Sep 13, 2016

Unfortunately I don't, it was hard enough getting someone back home to get me these bad pictures.

These are a little better. As you can see from the dirty glass this tank needs some love. I'm embarrassed lol

Is it an algae or like an anemone?

From what I've been told it seems to be an algae

So brown algae. Any suggestions on getting rid of it?

Manual removal.

My Rabbit fish does not eat it.

Try not to let pieces float around the tank, siphon out pieces (turn off the pumps) from the bottom (turn pumps back on).

Hopefully it doesn't spread too bad before I get home. Thanks for the info.

I'm not sure of the name, but it's a good plant like macroalgae

@BigNasty402 Semper Fi brother thanks for your service to our great Nation!!

Different Augeas are so hard to tell what's good and bad and down right murderoures
To a tank. I.e. That one algae that is fan like that takes over a tank.
