Is this hair algae??
I have a little outbreak of some sort of algae. My local LFS thought it might be hair algae, though it does not look like hair algae that I have seen in other pictures. It is hard and stiff. It is pretty difficult to pull off the rocks also.
Any ideas or thoughts on what it could be? |

It looks more like the green turf algae outlined in this link.

Indeed. This algae doesn't look anything like any of the algae on that website. No idea what it could be...

Ha, sorry. I read your reply and for some reason transposed "green turf algae" as green hair algae. No idea what I was thinking there. Yes, after more research on green turf algae, I believe that to be it.
Thank you for the help! |
