I noticed something growing in my eagle eyes today. I am thinking that I am going to pluck it out with tweezers on Saturday, but wanted to know if anyone had any clue as to what it is.

I know that it is difficult to see as they are pictures from my phone. Our camera just got ruined in a canoeing trip. I tried to circle the problem and point to it in red, but you can't really tell. Anyways it is the green stems that come up and make micro lilly pads.

Ok, unless anyone has any better ideas. My plan is to remove the rock and place it in a Tupperware full of tank water. Then I will pluck out the caleurpa and try and dig the roots out without hurting my zoas.
