Wow great thread! I have this stuff as well, never knew what it was. I actually thought it looked nice as it is purple in my tank *LOL* Just stays short and does not bother anything really. I may try an urchin or some mexican turbos and see how they munch it.

You can see it in this pic..

are there different types of turbos? I got some turbos to try and fight this algae but haven't seen them really eating much of it if any.
