Algae ID help
This Algae began growing on my back glass of both my S/W tanks about the same time the Coraline algae started.
It grows in small circles along side the Coraline algae you need a razor to remove it and it comes off whole and brittle like Coraline algae. The snails have no effect on it. I believe it's only on the back as I don't clean this as often as the front and sides. Water parameters are fine water is made up by R/O unit same as top off. It is not on the LR or LS. Any ideas?

It appears to me to be another type of coralline algae. I have 5-6 types in my tank some of which took more than a year to show up.

I agree with Kevin... it looks like green coraline.

No worries man... I still got your post
 My problem hasn't really changed yet... I still think I need to replace the r/o membrane again. I replaced my prefilters and made up some water. I'm gonna do a water change with that tonight. We'll see what happens. I really just need to get a tds meter to test my product water and as I said before, I probably need to replace the membrane again.
