Hello All,
I've had my 120gal up for about 2 months now. I have 120 lbs of live rock. Most of the rock is bare, but a few pieces (purchased separately) have a lot of growth of different stuff.
I've included 2 pictures and would appreciate some help identifying what I have growing on the rock, AND if it’s Good or Bad.
Picture 1) View from front of tank for perspective.
Picture 2) Close-up: showing Green algae that looks like lettuce algae? And...some brown bubbles raging in size from a pea to a large marble. At first I thought this might be bubble algae but it’s brown (not green) and they have very odd random shapes (not smooth and uniform like typical bubble algae.)
Picture 3) Same as #2 but different view
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
