Green Tube Shape on LR

Was looking at my tank earlier and noticed that on one piece of my LR there is a light forest green tube shape sticking straight up from it. I was going to try and take a picture but it's just too small to see on camera. It has to be about 2-3mm in length. I am just wondering if it is something I need to worry about or not. I only have LR, LS and a Xenia in my tank with a protein skimmer and a regular tank filter [just starting the hobby really].

 

it may be a calcius algae, its nothing to worry about it usually want last long, i wish it would, its really nice to look at to me. and welcome to 3reef

 

Are you talking about like a coralline algae? If so, it definitely isn't that because I have that on other rocks and doesn't look remotely close to it.

And thank you, hopefully I can make some contributions to the forums in coming time.

 

no not a coraline algae its a calcium based algae, tube like. someone will give you the name i'm sure

 

Neomeris.

BTW... Welcome to 3reef

 

Like a macro algae?


@TritonsGarden: Thank you.

So would this be a good algae or a bad one? I've did some research just now and some sites say its good to have around and others say it's a nuisance algae.
