Ulva. And most herbivores eat it. However it grows fast. Really a crappy algae to have in the display. Sucks up all the nutrients. Hard to kill.

Too much blue light to see well. Looks like Ulva, Sea Lettuce. Look at the link for live plants and you choose.


@jerl77 I think you have Enteromorphy, a cousin of Ulva. It grew on power heads in several tanks Of mine. Herbivores gathered at it like the feeding station that it was.

Green macroalgae, similar to seagrapes will be consumed quickly by tangs and rabbitfish. Does well for nitrate control in the sump and silimilar to seagrape caulerpa
