green orbs
I'm rather new at this I set up my reef about 5 months ago.I bought a cleaner shrimp from a local fish store and it had a small green orb floating in the bag.It is about half the size of an eraser on a pencil now I'm starting to find them all over.They are transparaent and a darker forest green .Can anybody tell me what these things are?

Sounds like bubble algae...they are kind of cool if you can curb their population down to a half a dozen or so. I have about 3 in my 100g and don't bother with them. I have heard tales of tanks that are plagued by it though so be careful!
