    I havent got any pictures yet, but i was wondering if anyone knew any good sites for Algae Identification? What i've got looks like its growing in a Vine, and what looks like tiny Lilly Pads comming up from the vine. Dark Green in color and the "Pads" are about 1/4" tall and about 1/8" in diamiter.

    Thanks!

    Thanks Jason! From the second link, it looks alot like its Mermaid's Cups. but i cant see the vine in the picture they have. Im almost positive that is the one though. i'll post a picture later this evening once i get home from work to have you guys double check.

    Has anyone had any trouble with the Mermaid's Cups? i kinda like the look and they are actually growing in a decent spot for them to stay if i keep them trimmed up.
