What could it be?

[redsea reefer]

I've had this growing for a little over a month now. I thought it was HA cause it looked exactly like it, now I'm not so sure. Just a few days ago it started looking like this. Here are a few pics, any ideas ????

luukosain and I think byropsis.... maybe???? donno

Never seen Bryopsis that looks like this but you never know...Thanks!

Weird stuff! It doesn't look like Bryopsis to me either. Is it turning lighter in color than before? It almost looks like it's covered in eggs, but maybe those little round things are spores getting ready to be released?

Yes Terry, it was darker before and looked exactly like HA. It does look like spores getting ready to release. I almost want to leave it alone and see what happens cause I have never seen this before but it might turn around and bite me in the butt. Thanks!

Anyone else have any ideas???

Grape Caulerpa? The kind used to make WHITE wine?

 

[redsea reefer]

Dont think so Al...

Eddie - Let us know what happens with it.

If you make wine from it, send it to Al for a toxicity lest LOL!

Ive searched and searched and came up with nothing. I'm gonna leave it alone and see what happens.

I did some more searching, I found that it looked more like Maiden's Hair algae rather than regular HA but found nothing on the eggs or spores on it.

I've been looking for you also Eddie....I can't find anything that looks like what you have...You're Unique

Thanks Tammy!

I hope they turn out to be eggs rather than spores. We will see...

 

[redsea reefer]

Nothing new yet, still same amount of eggs or spores and no new growth.

More of a green wine very popular on Mars or Nuclear Power Plants..

It reminds me of bladderwort. I doubt it is but that's the first thing that came to mind.

Best wishes,

Are those maybe just air bubbles? have you tried to brush past them and see if they release?

No, they are not air bubbles and I have not touched it either. I'll brush my baster against it tonight and see if they release.
