Hey, guys!
I was doing some research about different types of algae growth and I just cannot find anyone who knows what algae I have. It grows in a sheet as opposed to strands or clumps and it's a dark black color. Soft and smooth like crushed velvet and isn't bound to the rock too tightly. I scrubbed it all off several weeks ago but now it's back. Does anyone know? Photo attached.
Also, during my search, I came across, inevitably, the topic of coralline algae. I saw I have some attractive spiky red and smooth green variants going to town in my tank. Hoo-ray!
I know I've been posting a lot of questions lately, but I'm trying to expand my knowledge bank and I'm not knowing enough terms to help me find the search results I desire. Please help me out!!!!
