Algae ID, Camera and Photobucket Test

[Hobster]

Playing with my new Sony DSC H2 (auto settings) and can anyone ID this Algae the just started growing in my Nano Tank.

I rearanged the rockwork and all of a sudden it started growing.
I think it is Caulerpa Taxifolia.

Thanks

I think taxifolia have wider "leaves" and your seems feathery, maybe a different species of Caulerpa?

Looks like a type of feather caulerpa....a very nice looking species at that. I tried to get some to grow in my main display and it just would never take.

Nice lookin' leathers btw.

I agree with Marvin, if anything, I would think it resembles C.sertularioides http://www.hawaii.edu/reefalgae/invasive_algae/chloro/caulerpa_sertularioides.htm
Well, at least in my eye.

Zenya, Thanks for those links!
I think you are correct. It is very fine and feathery.
