    I have one rock with a few different kinds of macro algae, but one is stumping me. What are the white "flowers"?

    not sure if i see any white flowers, but my guess is mini or micro feather dusters.

    Ok now i see them, not sure on what they are though. sorry

    Look right in the center of the photo. Two white 'buds' that have 2-3" long green stems and look like a flower :confused:

    They are not feather dusters, as they do not extend or retract. Just slowly growing.

    Thanks for looking though :)

    I think you may be right! It looks exactly like those in this post, just white.

    They are pretty cool either way :)
