What is this

[ninjamini]

Found this on a rock attached by a zoo polip. Might be attached to it but it was far too brightly colored to be good.

I remedied it with tongs. I thought is was a worm but it looks more like an algae.

Its really hard to tell in that picture.

Google "Zoa eating nudibranch" google "reef flat worms" and see if either of those look like what you have there.

It's not those it was bright green and smooth. It also did not move when I hit it.

Correct color but this was more tubelike like a worm. But it looks Like an algae

bubble algae?

bubble algae?

That's what I thought but it was a more bright green and did not burst like they do. More of a solid interior.

Hard to tell, but looks like this variant of halimeda:

This could be it. Looks like there a good algae. Damm and I ripped it out. I only had one small tube but this image looks like it.

Interesting I got it after 7 years set up. Seems to like low nitrates and phosphates. And likes calcium. I got nitrates and phosphates to zero and now I'm dosing to raise calcium.

Halimeda is good. Only thing it is calcerous, so it will suck up some minerals. The other one posted looks like neomeris. Definitely problematic, LOL!

Tube or worm like bright green algae sounds like neomeris.

Looked just like this. At least it's not a concern.

If its neomeris, it is a concern:hmm2:

Geeze your right. I hope not. 7 years old where did it come from? Just sitting in waiting for the right time.
