Maiden Hair Algae friend or foe?

Hi. I am considering buying some maiden hair algae for my tank...I love the way it moves with the current. My question is, does it become invasive or have any other problem child "features".

Thanks,
CT Reefer

I never could keep it alive, it would just eventually dwindle away. I tried it twice. Might have been getting too much MH light in my old tank though.

Thumbs up

I have some in my tank, its slow growing and very beautiful. I wish it grew a tad bit faster I've also had some problems transplanting it to other parts of my tank. Keep it free of build up and it will make a beautiful addition
