Josh,

I believe the algae you have is called Asparagopsis Toxiformis. It should look like this:

This is the worst algae that you can have..... I almost quit the hobby after 13 years because of it. Thank god a fellow member talked me out of it. So I did a lot of research on it, and found that is actually a common food source in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands. It is part of the Asparagis family.

The only way to get rid of it is to use Mexican Turbo Snails, and skim the heck out of your tank.... Remove any excess disolved organic matter. But the most important thing is PATIENTS it will take several months for the algae to go away. HTH

sweet. i do believe we finally have a winner.
