That’s a really nice macro. If you are successful in growing this out and want to share it, please put me on your list!!!Was re-gluing a frag that was knocked down and this piece of rubble caught my eye. No filters used. In white or blue light it fluoresces.
Most likely came as a hitchhiker from your live rock, I think I still got a small piece in the tank, I struggled a lot during the house move to keep it alive. It’s a slow grower it took me 4-6 months to grow from a single leaf like yours to those pictures above. She does well under medium light to keep the colour. Keep it safe and share it around to keep the algae going. it’s really incredible under the right conditions.Very interesting! Thank you for the responses!
I've moved it to the frag tank, where there is currently no CUC. I've got some Pithos that have become incredibly lazy, but I bet they'd eat this if they saw it.
I'm curious where this could have hitchhiked in from. I have about 15lbs of Florida aquacultured rock, but otherwise it's all dry.
@sixty_reefer are you still successfully growing this "Acid Rain"?
I will do my best to keep it thriving. My frag tank is tied to my display, so no worry about parameter changes moving it. Lighting is different, but still heavy on the full spectrum.Most likely came as a hitchhiker from your live rock, I think I still got a small piece in the tank, I struggled a lot during the house move to keep it alive.

I think the nickname suits the algae well to as she looks almost acid washed
You are officially #1 on the list.That’s a really nice macro. If you are successful in growing this out and want to share it, please put me on your list!!!
I grew mine in with just blue and white light, treat it as you would treat any sps frag regarding light, flow and parameters. I always tough this would be ideal for sps tanks as it’s not invasive at all and looks well under blues. Good luck with it, hoping to see the development as it grows. Maybe a new thread?I will do my best to keep it thriving. My frag tank is tied to my display, so no worry about parameter changes moving it.

I've noticed some flourescent specs here and there in my display. Hoping those prove to be more Acid Rain!
Pictures?i think i have some of it growing too, in a couple years i might sell it.
Put me on the list too! Those are some beautiful macros!You are officially #1 on the list.
I'll dedicate a section of the frag tank to it and maybe some other macros. If I spot more in the display, I'll let it grow out there too. I'll either have a mod edit the title or I'll start a new thread if I don't end up killing itI grew mine in with just blue and white light, treat it as you would treat any sps frag regarding light, flow and parameters.

If you like rare algaes keep your eyes for this oneI'll dedicate a section of the frag tank to it and maybe some other macros. If I spot more in the display, I'll let it grow out there too. I'll either have a mod edit the title or I'll start a new thread if I don't end up killing it
Someone actually messaged me a couple months ago saying that they had it and had some to share! But he hasn't messaged back in a few weeksIf you like rare algaes keep your eyes for this one
probably one of my nicest finds that I dnt own any more, it looked crazy almost like a mushroom colony. Never seen one anywhere else, not even a clue on the name.
You need to share some pics wend you get it, did he found what was it called?Someone actually messaged me a couple months ago saying that they had it and had some to share! But he hasn't messaged back in a few weeks
I believe it's called Meredithia. At least that's what I saw on some older forumsYou need to share some pics wend you get it, did he found what was it called?
On the uk forum by any chance?I believe it's called Meredithia. At least that's what I saw on some older forums
