Hello everyone,

This started growing on a rock about 3 months ago & I've let it live. I can't seem to find it through Google under macro algae; any idea what this is?

My tang & angel enjoy nipping at it...

Thanks,

Thanks, nice algae! I really like the blue stuff...

Btw, I think I found out what the red algae is: Scinaia sp.
