What type of algae is this, is it bad or good?

OK, i have three stalks of it... they are only 1.5in high, and started as nothing... so 1.5 in of growth in 8 months. that can't be bad, not like it's overgrowing and getting up and eating my fish. LOL plus it is a cool colored green.

where did you get your rock at?
 
Thats great I have always liked it. I got the rock from somebody breaking down a tank for a friend. Each stalk is at least 2 inches and grew from nothing in about 3 months. :D

The person you got the rock from must of had a tang or rabbitfish that was keeping it mowed down.
 
Mine is back also.
Over time I've noticed that they seem to flourish when the water gets warmer, like now!

The 'stalk' is only one right now, but by the end of summer there will be about 10 of 'em. Maybe more with this seasons crop.
