Possible corral?

[lexikitten15]

We had some stuff pop up in our tank that initially we were thinking algae. But some of the stores around us say it’s possibly coral. No one knows what exactly it is it looks brownish black in the tank but kinda green when you take it out. It’s growing in clumps wherever it likes.

Hmmmm
Some of the stalks look like hydroids?
I doubt this is a coral

Maybe an invasive clove polyp?

If it is a coral, it is most likely to be a clove polyp or Xenia, but I doubt this is coral

We pulled some out and it’s like seaweed. It’s trying to take over our corals

macroalgae most likely

A white light picture of the weed may help us identify it. Put a intact bunch into a shallow glass and take a better picture, please.
