I'm in for a $50 frag if we have enough for free shipping.

It grew slowly and eventually bulldozed my clavularia. So, it had to go. Some it peeled off like wet paper. But a good bit of it had to be scrapped off carefully. Too bad. I thought it was kinda pretty.

Yea! I'll be by around 5. Thanks!!!

i'll be in for more than that (haven't had a chance to go shopping)

Thanks for the help. You are correct. It's a macro algae. Specifically, Lobophora Variegata. There are some reports of it taking over. And other reports of it simply going away. So, I guess I'll keep an eye on it. I'll report back in a few months just in case anybody is curious. Thanks, Brett

I poked it. It's a little slimy. There was a little give to it. But, it can't give much since it's very thin. Here's another photo. Closeup with flash.

There is flow over this rock. The polyps sway about. But, probably not all that strong of flow down between the polyps. ps. Yeah. It was love at first sight for me.

This was a HH on this rock. There's one other smaller patch on the same rock.

Hi All, I've had this coral for a month or so and it's doing great. But, there's this brown/green "film" on the rock. It looks like a tree fungus. It has a distinct edge to it. I think it's growing (but, I'm not certain). And I'm not sure if it's harmful. Does anybody recognize this thing growing between my polyps? Is it safe? Thanks, Brett ps. I kinda hate to spam the "Reef Keeping" group with this n00b stuff. Is there any need for a new forum called "Identification Help"?

PM'ed for nuke green and joker palys
