Looks like but a little hard to tell from the pic. Where did you get it? How long have you had it?

Noticed it on that small Zoo colony, when i purchased it, about 4months ago, was very small and has been growing steadly since.

It's just not often that gracillaria will grow well in a tank unless there is a lot of nutrient and flow. But it is possible.

Im thinking Chaeto needs more flow as it is so dense, while this Macro sp i have is not as dense, may not need much flow. It also fastens to the rock work easily to which is great.
