Does anyone know what tye of particular algae this is? It is quite nice looking, unfortunately it is spreading through my tank. I don't know why but my Yellow tang and my algae blenny won't touch it.

Very pretty green hair algae. I have a lovely patch just like that at the back of my tank. The other 4 areas I have don't grow so "prettily". :)

BTW, our favorite lfs had a rock in their macro tank with this awesome green algae on it. It was about 4 inches long and looked beautiful. I almost bought it until he laughed and told me it was green hair algae!! Yikes!!! :)
 
I'm thinking that if it stayed this length, it wouldn't even look that bad on the rocks. It is only about 1/2"-3/4" long.
