    Washing hands

    I can't be the only one to see this stuff. It grows fast, and almost looks like a Monti Cap when growing. It loves to cover a large area off rock, and it's a pain to get off. I cant stand to see it cover my coralline covered areas... What is it, how do I get rid of it? Thanks, Erik

    Orange Monti Cap
