Question

Green Thing?

When I was looking in my tank today I saw 3 lime green things sticking out! I'm not sure if it's dangerous to my tank or just some type of algae. They're maybe a centimeter long and stick straight up off my rock. Does anyone know what this is?

Sounds like some kind of algae, hard to tell without seeing a picture.

Welcome to the reef tank.

Does it look like a green worm? Could be Neomeris annulata, you can see a pic on this page.
