Algae Identification - New one on me
Maybe I'm ignorant, but I can't recall having seen this kind of algae. At first I thought it was diatomic of some sort, but now I'm not sure. It seems that Hermit Crabs die shortly after ingesting it.

looks like sponge to me , I don't think the hermits are dying from it , more likely killing one another for shells
