Check this out... This started out very small and dark red. As it's grown it's gotten more lettuce-like and somewhat transparent. I love finding new things in my tank, but never thought that little red spot would grow to this. The third picture is a new patch growing. That's what the matured macroalgae looked like when it started out.

Nice score, looks like an ulva seaweed only red not green. Does it have a mouth or is it all leafy like.
