Yeah now that I look at it better, not bryposis. It was my initial thought too.

Is it just green? Can't tell with all the blue.

If it were pink, looks almost like cotton candy algae.

Assuming it's green - the only other algae I could come up with is caulerpa (also sold as fern feather and feather macro algae).

I'm going to bump this thread with a new pic under white light.
As you can see it's just a single rock that was supposed to be my zoa island.
Since i put this rock in a new system with pretty low nutrients it started to die off a little over the last few days, i didn't want to mess with the bursh since i'm not fond of palytoxin

Funny how all zoas look the same under whites :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

I do think it looks nice aswell, the only problem i see is how fast it spreads to the point that it overtook hair algae in that rock in a week or two
