I have three species of unidentified algae growing in my dt. Number two I believe is Bryopsis sp., but for all I know it might be filamentous hair algae.
Pictures are taken with a Nikon D70 DSLR camera and Reeflux 12000ks.
UID spp. #1:

Taken with a macro lens (Nikkor AF 18-70mm).

Taken with Tamron AF-S Tele-macro. Close-up on the leaves from ~3', full zoom.
This plant reminds me of 2D cacti; under my old lights, it was tan.
UID spp. #2:

Telephoto. Note the feathery fronds. Reminiscent of palm trees; it's right under a K4, so it's hard to get a good shot. UID spp. #1 is starting to take over here.

Similar picture, with a little better detail view on the fronds themselves. Still blurry. :(
UID spp. #3 (grape caulerpa?):

These are the "leaves." They grow on a runner root system analogous to terrestrial plants.
