Well...i beat the bryopsis, but apparently haven't solved the nutrient problem, so here's the newest algae to take advantage of it:

Can someone confirm for me what this purple algae is? It's got a cottony texture, and very hard to manually remove.

Could it be 'red turf algae' or 'cotton candy algae'? http://www.reefcentral.com/wp/?p=323

there are a bunch of little red turf algae. usually hard to figure out what it is.(for me anyway)

but any algae can run away on you if it gets happy
