It looks like this one weed I used to have of course now that you asked the name slips away...mine had tiny bubbles on it and spread like wild fire very annoying...I did a lot of research and found out that the more you pull it out the worse it becomes the send out little seeds thats help it spread..I pulled my rock out and removed it with tweezers then washed it with some salt water that I had made up just to insure the eggs did not transfer then put it into the tank again...I'm sure I'll wake up at 3am and remember the name...lol good luck

It might be a Tufted Joint Algae, not sure though.

Live Foods for Feeding Aquarium Fish, Inverts & Corals: Tufted Joint Algae, Cymopolia barbata

It's a type of algae. I had it my tank initially but once cycled and tank parameters became stable, it disappeared on it's own.

Looks like a rhizome to grape caulerpa macroalgae

When i looked around on the internet, I found that what I have looks like Neomeris annulata. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? It's on a rock that I can easily pick up and remove.
Also, did anyone notice in my post I said think and not thing..

Sas says it's hard to get rid of, but I thought I remembered reading it didn't stay around very long usually.

This is where I saw it: Melevsreef.com - Neomeris annulata the pic here makes it look really nice also.

It says "thing" not think?

That stuff does not last long normally. I don't believe-I know I have read that.

Forget all the algae talk... It's neon green snail poop... And that is my scientifically unscientific opinion... Lol.

I pulled out the rock and scraped it off with some saltwater. I don't really want it in my tank so I hope it doesn't come back. Thanks for all of the input and changing think to thing.
