2 new macro algae - indentifaction help
Hi Everyone,
My wife had surgery and had an organ removed, which during recovery + keeping my company moving forward - has my Saltwater tank second priority. It has been about a month or so since I have had a chance to tend to the tank and typical "Hair Algae" creep-ed in. I do have 2 new species of macro algae that I am looking to identify. They do not seem to be spreading but just curious if I need to take action. Species 1:  Species 2:

IMO, no. As long as you can keep them contained to one area, you shouldn't have any problems. Keep an eye on them though.
