Tru2nr · 08-03-2008, 12:07 PM

Looks like Rhodopeltis borealis ore Dermonema virens, a kind of red algae.

Tru2nr · 08-03-2008, 04:49 PM

Even when you have been around there are still suprises. That is one of the very cool things about this hobby. I love finding new stuff and then asking what it is. I've found some pretty strange critters in my tanks.

Don't listen to em man.......that's what is commonly known as the invasive red creeping....eh.....creeper !........Yeah ! It starts out as a typically harmless looking little red branchie thing like you see there but very quickly will take over the entire back wall of your tank !! After it gets a sufficient foot hold it starts gandering around at yer stock....will choose the most expensive critter you have in there and quickly swallow it......WHOLE !! Then moves on to whatever it can grab hold of next.

Man.....your tank is doomed !

Amen. I'd think it impossible for any one person to have absolute knowledge of everything possible in the marine enviroment. Since things are still being discovered to this day. I have the corals for show but my fun is in searching the tank daily looking for new and unusual life forms.

I had some of that growing on my cube back wall a few weeks ago. Unfortunatly it quickly dissapeared.

yeah see the most expensive critter i have was actually a fish...i buy only little frags heh
