    I'll try to get a pic in the day light, but I don't think it's algae, it moves
    if you touch it (on it's own)

    That's wild...

    I guess you really do learn something new every day,
    If it's the same as the pic you put up what is it?
    and is it okay for the tank, or a PITA?

    AIPTASIA!!!! ALERT!!!!
    my recommendationis to try to get rid of it, or try to go to a marine specialist where they can tell you if it is. and if they say no, let it grow, if they say yes do what i say, eliminate it.
