    This has been growing from my live rock for a month or so, any ideas of what it is?
    Thanks,

    It is very pretty, and not to rain on your day but if that is growing you have some sort of nitrate/phosphate problem.  In a low nutrient system, which is what we try to run, macro algae will perish.

    Thanks for the info guys.
    All of my corals are doing fine.
    I will let you know if I see any ill effects jsummitt78.
     
  6. That is some beautiful red macro algae. Fisher12 had his 125 go through a stage suddenly that grew some of the most beautiful red macro in verious varieties all through out the tank. The growth was short lived, maybe several months but gorgeous while it lasted.
