Hope its something good also have a purple branchy thing growing off same rock! I'll try and get pics of that soon.

Looks like a macro algae I had growing next to some zoos too.
It was kind of leathery like lichen on trees and rocks.
I scraped mine off because it was out competing my zoos for space.

So if I took some tweezers or something it would be safe to peel it off?
Well hopefully the purple branchy thing is something working on pic now!

Yeah it does look like macro algae, it may come off in like onee sheet, try to not let the pieces float around, take them out if it falls apart. Otherwise there is a chance of it spreading.

Also--what kind of camera are you using?? It takes amazing pics!

Sig · 06-14-2008, 02:53 PM

Thanks! Its an Olympus x775 7.1 megapixel.
But the pics are not that good I just use fireworks to enhance them!

What are fireworks? I have an olypus stylus 770 sw 7.1, and I don't really like my pix either. It is waterproof, so I can put it in the tank and get really close macros, but the colors aren't very good.

Basically another version of Photoshop. It allows you to sharpen and brighten etc.

Debby · 06-14-2008, 07:35 PM

yes pls tell what fireworks are.

Sig · 06-14-2008, 08:38 PM

Hmmm! Fireworks = Cheaper version of photoshop! Type in Macromedia or Adobe Fireworks to google!

Hope this helps!

Sig · 06-14-2008, 08:44 PM

Heres what it did look like!
Just a tad of sharpen and contrast!
I'll try and dig up the original!

Sig · 06-14-2008, 09:21 PM

Heres the original! Types of things you can do with fireworks. But anything further I will post in another section. We are getting off the subject. LOL
