I've had a burst of plant growth in my tank but what is all of this?

Slightly blurry thanks to my dumb self feeding corals before I took pics.

First two pics I think I've heard are grape kelp?

The other looks like some kind of fern lol

Seems to be seaweed it's a good type though so don't take it all away unless it gets out of hand happy reefing

 

[Jeremy S.]

It's growing very well but it hasn't gotten out of hand. What kind of inverts would eat or make a nice home within this?

 

[Paulyboy123]

You can try to use some emerald crabs or try a tang mostly a sailfin. (I'm 13 and know a lot about aquaria I have 3 fish tanks 55fresh 20 fresh and 10 salt) happy reefing

Your lucky though that's some really nice plants you got there I woul love to have some

 

[Jeremy S.]

If anyone in Tennessee sees anything they like I'd love to trade or something

But yea, one of my Emeralds is having a blast climbing and hanging out in the plants.

I would try and get that in a sump b4 you try and introducing a tang they very well could eat it outa the tank on the other hand I think the third pic is feather calupera and nothing will eat it and it grows very fast and very hard to get off rocks great in sump though I even kept it in a sandy corner of my tank and trimmed it for a while great place for pod production the root mass and base of te plant when it's in tight growth makes it perfect you could see 1000s of little pods I all types tunneling and climbing the ALGEA

I don't plan on introducing a tang, I'm mostly just keeping coral, Goby, and Damsels. 2 Damsels might have to go in favor of something else; just looking for something more social.

Well tangs are great reef tank fish and they ALGEA graze to help keep the tank clean I have 2 and they are gettin to be a fair size great fish to always swing around when you approach the tank they don't cower away and just bring a very nice life to the tank tangs come in huge variants also

With this tank being just a 40gallon breeder I didn't want to cramp a Tang in there.

Ahhh yea very true didn't realize it was so small if it was a log tank I might be ok but I would t risk it
