Algae

Does anyone know what type of algae this is? Assuming it’s a macro algae.. but not sure. Thanks!

Not sure about the red one but you have a little bubble algae on the rock.

Yea trying to manually remove and feed less.. don’t want to go the crab route, hoping I could tackle it with continuous maintenance

Is is slippery to the touch?

Think you might’ve hit it! Thanks! It’s very slippery.. I was using a baster to scrap/suck the bubble algae and accidentally started sucking up the red algae. That’s how slippery it is! And it’s directly next to move return line and that site said it likes high flow. Very interesting! Thanks again!

I wish I had it sprouting in my systems. Where did your live rock come from?
