What kind of plant is this? (LR question)

[BDAWG]

Anybody know what this is exactly? I noticed it about a month ago, it was about half this size. I placed it where there was more light and it's been growing pretty fast.

Here's another one. I know about the bubble algea, it's the ones circled in red that I'm not sure about. I'm sure they're pretty common plants but I just don't know what they're called.

They all look like types of macroalgea to m (specis undetermined). Might want to get rid of the green bubble aglea in the second pic. It can take over a tank in no time.

I'll take a stab at ID'ing your macros. The red looks like a rhodophyte http://omp.gso.uri.edu/discovery/biota/bpdulse.htm and the green some type of Cladophora sp.

Awesome, thank you fluff. These ARE beneficial algae's, right?

It's started to already. I've thrown in a couple Emerald crabs and they've eaten a few already. What else can I do to get rid of it? It's nasty lookin'.

I believe what you have are beneficial algaes. As for the bubbles, you could remove the rock and carefully twist the bubbles off. Do this while you are doing a water change and you can rinse your rock in the old tank water just to be sure. Good luck.

Good idea. Thanks for the info!
