What is this algae

[geddavis]

what is this algae. I wanted to make sure I get rid of it early as to not have a bigger problem later. My snails won’t touch it so I want to know what it is to buy some live stock Or product to kill it.

The green stuff?
I don’t see any definition or extension.

If it doesn’t blow off it may be the beginning of corraline.

 

[geddavis]

that would be good I have heard that elsewhere too, but I want to make sure that it is not a problem. is there any way to tell if it is Coraline.

It won’t scratch off easily not comes off with a toothbrush , conforms to the surface and pores of the rock.

 

[geddavis]

yup it does all that just about to do the toothbrush check

 

[saltyfilmfolks]
