" Red Leafy Rhodophyta" Before and After

I notice some of this red algae growth out about a month ago and I'm amazed the growth rate of this thing.


Picture taking on 5-9-08.



Picture taking today.

Thank you for all your comments !!!! I recently move this piece of rock from FWLR tank a few month ago to my SPS/LPS tank. Bright lighting ; Strong water flow plus good nutrients which triggered the fast growth of this algae and before It didn't have a chance because this is a Tang having their dream meals.

Wow that's beautiful! I'd get those seahorses out of the refug and give them a new tank full of the stuff!
