AAaand, the picture is upside down. Sorry about that. And also sorry about the photo quality, and the dirty glass. I swear I've cleaned since then xD

Yep, that looks like it! Do you have any idea, can it grow if it breaks off of the point where it's attached to the rock? I'm not sure if you can see in the picture, but it's attatched at a very small point where it was originally growing, and that spot really gets beaten up by the current....

when i get this stuff from my LFS, it just comes in a loose ball. no holdfast or anything attached to it. sometimes i will use a rubber band or small piece of fishing line to secure it to a rock or frag plug so it doesn't get swept away in the current.
