Anyone ever seen or know what this is?

You might want to have a moderator help you with a better title for your thread. You might not get the folks who can actually help you with such a mundane title.

Good luck!

Maybe green haired algae. Looks like it to me. What size tank? Parameters? Lighting schedule? Stocking? How old is the tank?

Mr x, do u know how to treat bryopsis. I have been battling what I thought was green hair but it looks more like the oic here

Yep it's absolutely red slime. Had this problem about a month ago. You can suck it up with during water change but will come back within a day or two. I went to get LFS and they gave me red slime remover by a company called ultra life. Within 24 hours it was all gone! And I had a lot more then you did. It says it could take two try's or even lower your ph, but I never had any problems. Do a couple small water changes, even though you can't see it, it's still in your tank. Clean filter pads, etc.

i saw a thread where kent tech-m was used successfully. bryopsis is also called "hair algae". you can raise your magnesium levels to about 1500+ or so, and the algae should disappear. it's got to be kent tech-m though. not any mag supplement will do, according to this thread. then i saw others stating any mag supplement will do. good luck.
