Exclamation a little marshall mystery

my wonderful man and i have recently started setting up a 90 gallon reef system. all we have in it at the moment is four different kinds of live rock. we have one fairly large piece of marshall island rock that has a form of algae growing on it that has us (and several aquarium authors and retailers) stumped. what is it? who knows! it grows from a single very dark green thread-like sprout and has a green fan (resembling a palm from a palm tree) at the end. right now they are about 3/4" tall/long. is it a friend or a foe? if anyone has any idea, let me know. (by the way, they grew to this length from nothing in about three days.)

Re: a little marshall mystery

Hi crazy4mycrazyreefguy,




As wozza indicated already, it sure would help if you could provide picture of the algae in question. Having said that, I don't think that any algae that grows this quick would be welcome in my tank, simply for the reason that it may overtake my tank.
