Need some identification help

BretsterRT · 07-10-2011, 08:41 PM

I need some assistance identiying this red plant that is growing in my 14gal Biocube. It's been growing about two months, started growing from my live rock. My tank is about a year old. Everything is doing fine in the tank. Any help is appreciated.
thanks,
Bret

Looks like Porphyra. The red algaes can be a pain in the butt to ID sometimes, but I'm reasonably sure it's Porphyra. Similar to a red Ulva.

Thanks very much for the id help. Googled pictures on Porphyra and that's what it looks like.
