| Need I.D. help. What is this? Is it a form of red slime? I am battling some on my sand right now and I just noticed these growths on my rock.

| Re: Need I.D. help. What is this? That does not look like CB to me. It looks a little too definite in shape (if that makes sense). The CB that I have experienced appears more to be a "dusting" on stuff that really has no specific shape. So to answer your question, well I have no idea what it is but I don't think it's CB. Sorry. Maybe some sort of sponge...

| Re: Need I.D. help. What is this? Maybe it's a type of bubble algeae, not sure though.
