New & Interesting Things Still Growing

[PaulaB]

I found my charger for my camera so I can finally ask if anyone has any idea what these two things are (see links below). I'm guessing the green tubes largest is about 2" tall are tubeworms but not to sure about the brown things (larges is aboutt he diameter of a silver dollar)...sponges? algae?

Any help is appreciated.

2nd I'm going with tube worms.

1st I almost want to say it's a pavona cactus coral (common name patato chip coral) Although I'll admit I'm not the best at identifying corals from pictures.

Glad you're getting all that growth. That's cool!

Both are algae’s.
The first is Padina scroll algae. Common on Fiji live rock. I had some trouble with it in the beginning but soon my herbivores took care of it.
The second is Neomeris Sp. – Fuzzy Tip Algae or Spindle weed.

Both are in the Reef Invertebrates book by Anthony Calfo and Bob Fenner

Just some more proof that I suck at identifying pictures.....

Thanks Sharks.

LOL it was a good guess.
Like I said I had the scroll in my tank and it drove me nuts to get and ID.
Then it made me crazy to get rid of it. It started to spread fast without fish in there. Once the fish were there, and alot of physical removal by me, it slowly went away. It never hurt the tank but I wanted to see purple not brown/green.

LMAO! Too funny. I have pavona in my tank and though "Hmmm... maybe I don't have Pavona" LOL! I suck just as bad!
