    I have this growing in small spaces in my DT. This is the best pic I could get from my camera phone.

    Its the stuff on the edge right below the nerite snail eggs on the cliff. It looks sorta like olive GSP. I am sorry but that's the best pic I could get with this Droid. If you right click on the pic and choose the view tab it will make the pic bigger and you can see it then.
