    So I got a Mangrove from the LFS for Mr. Cthulhu to live in, There was a bit of algae stuck to it, but nothing I recognized as bad. So I let it grow. It's a large bush now. wuzit?

    looks like a form of flame algae, at least in its growth form. Not invasive, doesn't look like caulerpa or any sexual algaes. I would keep it.

    It's a thought, but it's very... green.

    It looks like the stuff I got in my 1 penny macro algae from Reef Cleaners a while back. Unfortuntely, mine just kind of went away. Never did figure out what it was.

    Also, your shrimps name makes me very, very happy.

    Nope! It's not invasive, or anything really. It's a shady spot for Mr. Cthulhu! I'm just gonna name it Green Dragon's Breath. Fair enough? I can't find it anywhere..
