Red Turf Algae. I love this stuff

[OrionN]

Ever since I set up my tank, I have this red turf algae that my fish absolutely love. I put these rock in Corpus Christi bay for several months prior to put them fresh straight into my tank. Leave alone this algae will grow into a think mat. As it my tangs and Angels mow it down as fast as it grow. I think it is a huge healthy food source for my herbivores. The algae is resilient enough to stay alive through our the up and down of my tank. Here is a picture of this algae. When they grow in a mat, it is a bright red in coloration which is nice color on the rock.

Another picture from f this algae right in the middle of my aquarium. It was under a huge mass of aiptasia. Now that my CBB clearing a lot of the aiptasia out, the algae again become a source of food for my tangs and angels.

I've had this before on ocean live rock. I like it!

The tangs and angels are mowing it down. It really grow well but the fish really keep it really short.

I have some of it, and it gets pretty hairy since I just have a tailspot and a clown. I'm kinda not fond of it, honestly.
