    I'm starting to get a cluster of new algae, it seems rare that you get beneficial algae for free. I checked out the ones listed on reefcleaners and it isn't one of them. It looks like mini lilly pads, 1/4" disc on a 1/2" stalk, growing in a cluster. Anyone have an idea what it is or how good/bad it is?
