Hi All,

Recently finished cycling my 6ft and noticed this algae appear. It hasnt really grown much since the initial cycle and I dont actually have a blenny in their yet to see if they would eat it but as I was unable to find it in any of my books NOR in http://www.algaebase.org/ and some of the other Algae ID sites.

Just wondering if anyone else has seen it before. Thanks

After screaming around the net I think it might be this. Thoughts?
