Macroalgae ID?

[Maebh]

I've two types, both growing at a steady speed. No.one is an upside down teardrop shape and very green, no. two is like a net and yellow-brown-green.

Possibly an Enteromorpha species or one of the below:

Possibly a Lychaete sp.? For example:

Lychaete herpestica Filamentous Green Algae

Lychaete herpestica is commonly referred to as Filamentous Green Algae. Difficulty in the aquarium: Not suitable for aquarium keeping. Toxicity: Toxic hazard unknown.

If not, I'd lean toward it being something else from that family (Cladophoraceae), as the bubble tubes are pretty unique - they're too long to be Valonia or similar, and too translucent to be Codium.

To show another, similar-looking member of the family:
Luxuriant Cladophora, Cladophora catenata

no. two is like a net and yellow-brown-green.

You'll need a closer up pic for an ID on this one - lots of macros can look similar to this, and the branching/minute details of the "net" help distinguish between them.

Haha, oh good, because I'm not sure on the ID for this one offhand - I do recognize the piece of Chaeto on it though.

If you do want an ID, I'd suggest letting it grow out for a while, then removing a branch and getting both full length pics and close up pics of that branch.

There are chaeto bits all over my tank :grinning-face-with-sweat: Since my first post, that algae has disappeared overnight! I'll have to wait and see if it grows back
