What Sort of Puffy Green Parasols . . . ?

[Maritimer]

Not the cyanobacteria - the green algae it's growing all over is the mystery this week.

This grew out of liverock from the Florida Keys. Grows pretty quickly, by means of runners - but much smaller than Caulerpa. On a tiny scale, it almost resembles some of the freshwater aquarium "bunch plants".

Any thoughts?

Very interesting. Sorry I can't be any help but I'm following to learn

Thanks for the ride-along!

Wondering if anyone _has_ ever seen this stuff?!

Any road ... it's spreading pretty quickly, but there's a young foxface Lo lookin' to dive into that tank tomorrow, so we'll see how tasty the stuff proves to be.
