I got the liverock at my LFS. I had a pretty bad ugly phase but it lasted only two weeks. I also thought it didn’t really look like bryopsis but people on other forums told me so. It seems more brown ish and grows in fully shaded spots. What could be the cause if it is detritus? Mostly overfeeding?Byropsis looks like a fern and it's green.
That looks like a mix of algaes and detritus.
Where did you get the rock?
Thanks! Its a relief to hear. I’m thinking about getting my first corals next week. Would you have any recomendations for beginners?You couldn’t have had an ugly phase that only lasted 2 weeks, you had a diatom bloom. What’s growing on your rocks is part of the normal stuff that grows on live rock, it’s what you want on it. Enjoy the tank and let your rock do its thing.
