What are these little green things and are they bad? I've tried all kinds of research and can't find an ID

[jenajet]

Someone else had the same thing but can't find the thread. They were told it was just a algae. believe it was harmless

Neomeris annulata

This is surely one of the most distinctive seaweeds in Hawaii. N. annulata has a fingerlike form, grows to 4 cm high, and is found in tide pools, on reef flats, and in subtidal habitats, where it often grows in groups in depressions in the rock. The tips of this seaweed are green in color with a fuzzy appearance that is produced by many fine hairs. The lower part is calcified and white.

That is indeed Neomeris Annulata.

Generally a sign of good water conditions, although if they reach large enough populations they can have a detrimental effect on your calcium as they use it quicker than the corals can absorb it.

But you would have to have a hell of a lot of them for this to happen.


A friend of mine has a turbo snail that has a Neomeris attatched to its shell, it looks like its radio controlled
