Guys these aren't my pics, but are the only ones I can find that look like what I have on a couple rocks, and some on the back glass.....Can anyone tell me what it is, with some links to info about this? It's got a fuzzy appearance over a crusty brown/red algae. It's not affecting any of my corals and is only covering existing coralline algaes....Thanks for any help.

I don't have any of my own pics right now, but this looks like the same stuff. As it's progressed it almost is starting to look like a new coralline taking over? :confused:

This pic (not mine) shows the fuzzy stuff off of the rock. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b140/conspearasea/algaeid1.jpg

Second one shows how it appears on coralline growing on glass. From what I have read and seen it's not dinoflagellates(sp?).. IDK though. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b140/conspearasea/algaeid2.jpg
