Can you get a Picture of it?
Reef264,

Sorry, I don't have access to a camera. I looked up Gracilaria algae and Cotton Candy Algae, and it is not either one of those. I have had cyano outbreaks before, and it's not that either unless there is a form I am not familiar with. It has the same color as cyano, but it is at least a 1/4" thick and feels like a piece of velvet.
