What is?? This a coral or macro algae?

This was shipped from addictive reef keeping, their reefergium in a bag pack but I am not sure what was in it, whatever it was it has done great but I would like to know what it is

(The purple branchy ones)

With the blue lights, it is difficult to make a definitive answer. From what I can see, it looks like a Gorgonian.

I was going to guess that too. Can you get a close up in a white light pic?

looks like a gorgoniidae in the blue light but hard to get an real ID

It kind of looks like a Gorgonian to me as well. Kind of odd they'd send it to you with a bunch of macro algae though.

If you haven't already you might want to compare what you have to some of the pictures of macro algae they sell on their website. Maybe you'll find a match. GL.

still hard to tell. try googling this Eucheuma Spinosum

That looks more like a macro algae, I don’t see any polyps on it.

Much thicker and branchier

I would bet its a macro algae... You ordered it from addictive reef keeping in a refugium package ? A quick search on their website and it matches this algae Bryothamnion sp. "Red Razor"

is it actually this one ? I don't know.. You could always forward them an email with a picture and ask them directly :)



Looks more like a Digenea simplex (Click the link)

Yes I don’t either, even close up. It turned white when I cut off a peice and put it in higher light which also makes me think it’s an macro

That’s it- the second one (Digenea) exactly! Thanks!
