Wait.. is it turtle grass - Thalassia testudinum - grows in long ribbons, has roots and rhizomes, big green leaves grows to 12" or so? Or is it turtle weed- Chlorodesmis fastigata - grows in clumpy batches on LR and such, chokes corals, has a fuzzy, fine 'leaved' appearance, usually stay relatively short strand growing habit?
