Whit Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Greg and I would really like to know what this is... Its growing on one of the rocks in my tank. It doesnt seem to be hurting anything in tank, and it actually very pretty, we just know nothing about it. Its very thin, spotted, and grows to be either a reddish-orange or a purple color. I have about 5 "sprouts" growing on one half of a forked rock. The pics attached I took this morning. They seem to triple in size in about a month, so they grow VERY fast!! If anyone has any ideas, please let us know!!! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxiq Reef Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It's not dragons tongue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteorflower Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Looks kinda like Ulva, only red... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whit Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 its not dragons tounge... ive seen that before. This isnt so "sharp." This plant is smooth on the edges, and isnt transparent in anyway. Ulva isnt red like you said, but it does look somewhat close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
