| Tridacna maxima  | Re: what kind of algae is this I've never seen blue algae before. Possibly a type of encrusting sponge? Any chance you could get a clearer pic?

| Tridacna maxima | Re: what kind of algae is this You're not going to get a positive ID without a better pic. I doesn't necessarily need to be "bigger" - just clearer - to show more detail. Here's a pic of some blue sponge. Does it look like this?
