RonTheGuy Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I purchased this large live rock covered with green star polyps about 3 months ago now some purple plant or coral has also appeared. Now I see three little 1" branching purple trees which are very pretty. They wave in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckyuv Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Looks like some sort of macro algae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I agree, it looks like a macroalgae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvrEnuf Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Third vote for a macro. I haven't sen it before though....I want one! Ron, if you'd like to see an example of a skimmerless tank feel free to bring a cut of that guy over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonTheGuy Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Ron, if you'd like to see an example of a skimmerless tank feel free to bring a cut of that guy over! I have had a skimmer less tank ... just has less fish closer to the real reef. Fyi I think it is a macro algae too ... I was hoping a red coral. Now I didn't taint the posting but the tank did have a red macro algae I purchased on ebay maybe 3 months ago then died within a few weeks. apparently it seeded the rock before dying?

nvrEnuf Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 yes, that is very possible. it is also an indicator of age and (at least some) stability in your tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
