Just ugly. Get a glass scraper and away it goes.

Think of it as coraline algae, but green.

I have a bunch of that growing on my rock! I like the contrasting colors.

sounds like the normal alga that you will have to clean off from time to time..should get heavier closer to the lights..

The snails should leave little trails through it. My algae magnet does not help on that stuff. They sell bulk packs of razor blades at your local home superstore and you just need to scrape away.

Hmmm, I must be thinking of soething else. What I have is only on the rocks and seems to be the same as the purple coraline in texture.
