Lol this guy is starting to look like something out Pirates of the Caribbean. Lol I think it looks cool but it's starting to get big, and want to make sure this isn't any pest plant life.

Yes...and no. It looks like some form of ulva, which is nice up until it's really not. It could be worse, though: I found a majano stuck to the shell of one of my snails the other day. Pretty!
