    Ok I have been seeing quite a few of these in the tank now and after looking around for awhile I still can't figure them out!

    I couldn't get clear pictures so bear with me as I try to describe them. Their all single stalks of about 1/4 inch. The most striking characteristic is their really really neon green. I mean like Las Vegas neon green. HAHA well any ideas?

    If I checked the right post no their algae was spread out stuff like a coating. Mine are individual stalks. Thanks for the idea though!


    Ok for you (and Luna) I'll get you the best I can! Other characteristics they have is their fuzzy, but only if you look very close! A pic will be here soon.

    I think I have the same thing.

    It has a wide base that goes up into like a pipe or tube shape right? All of it is neon or bright lime-green.

    Ok this is the best I could do! Whats your thoughts?

    Also sorry if it's something obvious, but I haven't been able to find anything close. Oh and please ignore all the hair algae! Relativily new tank still ;D
