My Snail Needs a New Barber (weird algae)
 No joke. That's all growing off one snail. The pink and the green stuff too. My rocks just have a few tufts of green here and there, mostly getting covered in the green baby coralline. He's a pretty new Astraea snail, maybe there was a lot of phos where he was before and it bound to his calcium shell? I might trim it so he can get around better, but it's pretty dope.

Yeah that pink algae is awesome! I'd trim it and see if it will grow in your sump.

Coolest snail I've seen. Although you can't see the snail at all. I'd love to have some of that pink algae!

I've heard many tall tales of the elusive Peacock Snail. It seems you have found him/her. I'd call Nat Geo right now and have them do a made for tv special.
 That's a pretty cool looking snail
