Greetings,
Recently, for the past few weeks, I've had this type of algae starting to propagate on my live rock. There was a small section of it at first, but its grown into several clumps at various places in the tank. It's "hair-like" in form, in that its made of strands and flows in the current. I also have some patches of it that are sort of "fuzzy". Not sure if this is a different kind or not. None of my crabs/snails/fish seem to want to eat it. I've attached two pictures, one of the hair-like algae and one of the fuzzy algae. Do you know what it is? I had a difficult time identifying it, and thought I'd ask here. Also, if you know what it is, what kind of critters eat it? Thanks!
